Hello Everyone, Cammie here. Susan and I bought our Hukys together several months ago. I got in a couple of roasts on the Huky, without data logging, before a health issue placed me on the roasting sidelines. My intention for buying the Huky was to evaluate whether I liked gas roasting before investing in an even larger gas roaster.
I usually roast using a 1 kilo electric roaster and a Quest M3. Both of these roasters will always keepers for me. I rarely data log and prefer roasting using my senses. But, I do plan to play with Roastmaster a bit when I get back to the Huky.
With the Huky purchase, my strategy was to buy every option so I could play with the various parameters. I have a working hypothesis that the optimum Huky set-up/parameters will be dependent on the type and condition of the beans I choose to roast. So, I'm going to test this hypothesis by varying the set-up, motors and drums.
Currently, my Huky is set up with a cyclone just like Susan's. And, my brother-in-law reworked my LP gas line (I am trying to get him to document the fittings, etc so I can share the info with other Huky owners). He also brought over some ducting last weekend so I think he is ready to help me set up the original vent bowl option to determine which configuration I like best.
Thanks for setting up this forum. I think the Huky is a quality roaster that provides versatility and options at a very reasonable price.
