My Turbo Oven has also arrived before 9.00 am I haven't had time to open it as I have been out and about till now KK

Beans required for next week so I took the plunge with the new TO. Wow! What an improvement over the old one! I ran the KKTO for around 30 minutes with a TO on full to get rid of any smells. Loaded the beans, 600gm of Honduras COE, and FC around the 12 minutes mark (I use the TO timer), lowered the temp to 220 and coasted it along and pulled at 15/16mins before 2C. Roast turned out well so I'm a happy bunny.

The new Turbo Oven is fantastic. I'm thinking I might try my first ever 800gm roast to see how it goes. It's certainly got a lot more heat and that's with the stock guard on it! 🙂 Nice find KK!

My new TO is also working well but I have only done about 8 roasts on it so far The fan guard has been modified with a few selective holes for better large batch performance

Great to know your kit is going well Lacehim. How about a pic of your beans? What,s your charge temp.?

KK, did you angle the fan blades as well? I found the more efficient air flow together with the modified guard (i removed mine altogether) should result in a great cup.

I did a 700gm roast without any dramas. I think a 800-900gm roast wouldn't be a problem with this new TO. It's a amazing the different between TOs. I've had two before this one and the performance has always been average with bigger roasts. Now it's kicking along nicely.

No I have not touched the fan blades Gary I may try one large hole on the spare fan guard as a comparison

Yep some are better than others but I have had luck on all the units I have purchased KK

As you all know I have a heavily modded KKTO. Reporting just completed 1120grm roast to 226deg in 19 min.Coped very well average heat rise 10-12 degC Finished roast looks as good as any roast I have done. Beans were Brendans PNG Sigri Peaberry

I have witnessed and assisted in some large roasts with BS spark KK

KK I was surprised by the level of beans in the roaster, not much room left.I am now wondering how scortching or tipping never occurred as the bean level got to within 40mm of HG nozzle . The motor and paddle proved themselves to be design perfect for the application. The size of roast was accidental as I thought the weight was 1000grms. My three loves KKTO, Mazzer ROBUR and Bezzera Strega
