I'm using SR800 with a PerfectPrime TC2100 (Mastech 6514 clone) and have started using Artisan. I LOVE my Razzo V5T 12" and decided to get it after watching your videos. I would love to see Kent put another "k" type probe under the base for an E/T output.

That's a great idea for Artisan folks! Yeah something to maybe look forward to

Thanks for your great review & promoting my friend, Kent!

Thanks so much! yep it' s a great product

Hi there... I watch all of your videos. You're just about the only one doing roasts with the SR800 and the Razzo tubes. I'm testing out a roast I did about 5 or 6 days ago using my 800 and V5T tube. I took it to a city+ at about 430° via the B/T probe on the Razzo. The flavor just isn't what I though it should be for that level roast. SO... I was wondering! If I'm using the B/T to judge roast level, then how accurate is the B/T with the Razzo tube? I don't know if anyone has ever tried to see. I wish I had some "crap" beans to get a roast up to maybe 425° and then just shut down the SR800 to see the temp of the bean mass without the air affecting it. That would give me an idea of how much lower the B/T is for deciding when to drop. Have you ever thought of this?

Thanks for watching! I'm probably a bad one to ask regarding that. I am very much a by eye or ear kind of guy. Colorwise I mean. Doing a "waste batch" is probably not a bad idea to get it to the temp that you want. I'd say make sure to do a warm up period like Kent says in his instructions about 5 mins

@@drinksunbear Yep... Think I will try. I normally take my Honduran Marcala to full city level so I may do a batch and stop it about 10° before and let it set for a moment to see how the B/T changes with no air. Then I can cool rapidly....

I have a question about selling coffee at street fairs and farmers markets. I’m thinking about bringing a portable roaster and setting it up in the stand where I sell the bagged coffee. Not so I can sell small quantities of coffee from the roaster but to fill the air with the smell of roasting coffee as a way to attract people to the booth. Any thoughts?

I did try this before and just found it to be problematic. Power was an issue. If it does not get enough power it won't run correctly and the roast suffers
