I tried a roast last night of 250g Guatemala, dropped it with the pan at ~80 degrees and set the heat gun at full fan and 630 degrees, ie, full power. I had first crack at 4 mins. By comparison my old gun would not have seen FC until 11-13mins doing the same things.
For other users of this gun, can anyone give me an idea of heat settings they are using?
My coretto is a Sunbeam bakehouse with the lid modified to accept the heat gun through the old vent and a chimney made of a bit of old rangehood flex up through the old sight glass port to carry the smoke and chaff away from me and the heat gun. Cant post a photo as haven't made enough posts on the site (lurker).
Cheers, Andrew
