1 lb commercial batch/sample roaster.
More than enough for home use

I find Behmor to be the most difficult to produce consistent results. Not impossible, just more difficult. I equate it to roasting coffee with a paper bag over your head wearing boxing gloves.
Enjoy the experience. Once you start, it is a wonderful rabbit hole of great flavors from a variety of origins.I just started roasting my own coffee last week. Currently I'm roasting the beans in a 10 inch deep walled cast iron skillet on a propane burner.
Below is a picture of my first roast. I love dark roast coffee and was very please with the outcome.

Thanks!I'm still pretty new to all this, but that looks like a great dark roast from a cast iron skillet. Nice work, @DCRIII!
That’s deer camp breakfast for us! Carolyn’s is great in super strong coffee.The 1st 3 roasts I did up here on the Behmor (Bali, Colombian, & Etheopian) were god like (small g). They rivaled what I brought up roasted on the SF-1.
I "tried" the same beans again, using the same settings and I have to add sweetness and flavoring to choke it down.
Came back from the State Liquor store today with some Carolans Irish cream. The burned Colombian is fantastic now
Thanks!
Since the beans don't quite have the coffee smell we all know and love until the roasted beans cool, I thought that I had burnt them.
