I am starting this tread so B&B members can post the coffee bean roasting system they have, are considering buying, or have used in the past.
It does not matter if you roast in a pan on the stove or use a multi thousand dollar commercial coffee roaster as a business, feel free to join in this thread and talk coffee roasting with the B&B members.
The thread can also encompass and talk about the modifications you have made to your coffee roasters or talk about modifications you are considering making so that we can help each other become better coffee roasters and enjoy our roasted coffee.
I have a hottop 8828-B. The early generation B-2 model with the button type thermocouple in the roasting chamber.
The modifications I have done to the roaster so far are:

The modifications I have done to the roaster so far are:
- Put a 3 way switch in for the main fan so that I can have it set to run with the roaster's computer or manual be turned on to full independent of the roaster's computer and can manually switch the fan off.
- Placed a momentary interrupt button inline with the thermocouple so that I can "fool" the roaster into thinking the chamber temperature is 0 (zero) so that I can do back to back roasts with out waiting for the roaster to cool down below 165º to start another roast cycle
- Switched the bean cooler stirrer so that I can run it independent from the roaster's computer and keep it on after the roaster auto-powers down.
