To the Sono guys using propane:  Do you have any idea how many roasts you get per gallon of propane?

I'm on #8 on this bottle. Use boiling water poured down the side of the tank to see how much you have left.

You said you would take care of MY roaster.  And now it looks like a dorm room....geeze :)  


I think we know which machine I was referring to! And what's with the bleepin' flower arrangements? Real guys don't decorate their coffee stuff!

I've never kept track.  a 5 gallon bottle lasts me about a month or so...... maybe 70 - 100 roasts

Anyone have any luck cleaning the residue off of the roast chamber on their Sonofresco?  I've been using Simple green and a scotchbrite pad, but it's a lot of work and I'm afraid of permanently scratching of breaking it.  Anyone try sticking it in a dishwasher?  I just love watching the beans jump up and down!

single edge razor blade works best, I've tried many other things but the razor works best and no chemicals.... Joe taught me that trick.

I use TSP in hot water and let it soak overnight. I do this about every fifth roast and it keeps the glass & aluminum looking new.

I soak mine in a solution of Urnex Cafiza and then gently scrub with a fine Scotchbrite pad after a couple hours soaking. My roasting chamber looks as new as the day I got it.
No coffee, No workee!

Thanks for all of the suggestions.  My roast chamber is now as clean as staring out a window...

Just don't let milo near it or it'll be as clear as looking at nothing! ;D
