Here's my other passion when I'm not RVing...Coffee Roasting on my grill!

How do you control the temperature?

Don't really control the temperature...you need to get the beans to around 550 F to roast. Just let'er rip and wait...

Alot like popping popcorn..timing is everything

But oh my...is it worth it..

This is what I roast in. Behmor 1600

Those are the best if your roasting indoors..

I need to roast at least 10lbs when i get the time..so had to move my operations outdoors..the photo is actually another guys setup by mine is exactly the same..usually 2-3 sessions

How in the heck do you keep the chaff from not smoking you out of the house??

Even the best filtering systems I've seen..I ended up sneezing up a storm.

Ok, here's the competition. Each of you send a sample and I'll determine a winner.

**Lloyd** · 02-09-2015, 07:36 PM

I already sent mine.

Now it's Marks turn.

OhioMark · 02-09-2015, 07:38 PM

I'm an amateur at this...passionate but alas, an amateur!

I don't have the fancy setup so i tend to let my beans overroast in the cooling bin...

Starbucks wont be going out of business anytime soon..

Send it where?!?

Do we have to have another Texas Rally to enjoy your coffee Lloyd? Really liked it back then!

Hey we have an up coming Louisiana Rally in March. Just think You all can leave the Frozen North, come down and get warm. and eat a good Louisiana food

**mark5w** · 02-09-2015, 08:30 PM

That's right, Lloyd already sent me some last year. And it was "um um gooooooood."

Mark, your turn.

Frank-

I left the frozen high country 2 1/2 weeks ago. Am presently in Borrego Springs, CA where it's a balmy 72 degrees at 8:20 P.M. Golf was good today after towing from Phoenix. Sorry we can't make the March Rally but will be toasting y'all with Abitas during that time. Presently enjoying a Shiner Bock.

I've had Lloyd's coffee on several occasions and I will say that it is really good.

Hoover give Lloyds coffee a ten star rating

. And those who have met Hoover know how picky he is about everything.

They might advertise that you can roast indoors, but any roaster I have ever seen has to be vented outside, or, be outside.
Even those with the afterburner create smoke.
I have a range hood installed on the outside wall in the garage with a bench beneath it. When I roast, that is the place.

**mark5w** · 02-10-2015, 01:51 PM

Lloyd, with everybody saying how good your coffee is, maybe you should market it.
I have a friend that could make a logo for you.

**Lloyd** · 02-10-2015, 01:53 PM

Now Mark, didn't you see my profile?
It says---Retired!

**mark5w** · 02-10-2015, 02:06 PM
