Coffee Roast on my GB 22 Kettle

[Winz]

A Swiss buddy of mine is in the coffee import business and offered some raw coffee beans to me if I could figure out how to roast them.  After some research and a short buying spree, the following was the result.





















I used coconut shell briquettes to keep the taste of fuel to a minimum.  It worked wonderfully and the temp controller kept us right at 400F.


We did this cook at my place near Montreux Switzerland.  Montreux is mentioned in a song by the band Deep Purple - fittingly we have named this first batch "Smoke On The Water"


Cheers, Winz

One of my favorite songs, and roasting of the beans looks awesome

That's cool! Most of the charcoal roasting setups I've seen online people struggle to get a consistent roast. I've got a dedicated Weber propane 1000 with a 4lb. RKDrum roaster with a 50rpm motor and a bouncy house chaff blower/bean cooler. Typically roast 1-2 lbs @9-13 minutes
