Dear MCR,

I am relocating to O'ahu in the next 45 days and I wanted to ask if you have any advice for safely moving my 3KG roaster. I plan to load it in one of my moving pods with all my other coffee equipment. Any suggestions for a successful move? It'll move from California to Honolulu.

Mahalo for your advice and/or any suggestions!

Richard

Hello MCR,

I am thinking of purchasing new thermocouples for my 3kg 2020 model. The goal is to get a more accurate and consistent reading as compared to the current thermocouples that was logging a 100 degree difference between the PID and BT prior to cleaning them (I removed each and lightly sanded, and I removed a little debris from the inside of the BT thermocouple). Consistency has been way better since but was also thinking it wouldn't hurt if I just replaced them with these: https://millcityroasters.com/shop/roaster-parts-accessories/data-lo...mocouples/

Questions:

- Given my model, which should I purchase for each location? (BT, DT and ET)?

- Is this a "do it yourself" job or will I need tech support?

- In your experience, will there be a noticeable difference in temp logging moving forward as compared to my current thermocouples?

As always, thanks for your fantastic support! Happy Fathers Day!

Any suggestions on how to get my RoR line higher? I adjusted my charge temp and gas settings but that didn't change much. Roasts are turning out great but I want to start watching this closer and managing the end of my roasts.

Charge size: 5.4 lbs

Charge Temp: 400 F

Here is an example: https://portal.roastpath.com/publicroasts/index/5741379544700170323

Note about the example, the notes include a more accurate reflection of the gas settings and not the lower graph.

I also find it difficult to sync the sensor temperatures for ET and BT. If I don't apply an override, the BT will be 100 F below the ET. Below are the override settings.

BT: 133%

ET: 93%

Incoming Air: 100%

Also, is there a way to update my warm up temp and the temp that is synced with the machine alarm. Current those settings are 435 for the top end of warmup and 350 for the alarm. I'd like to set the alarm to 400, my charge temp. Thanks for your help!

Understood, and thank you for clarifying. I called a local company here that offers the crating service and shipping.

Wow, I didn’t think about going through FedEx or another service to crate it. I’ll call and get a quote. Thank you for your help!

Hi Angie,

I’m using UPack, they have a standard container size of 6'3” x 7' x 8'4” (DWH).
