Susan, is your probe one of those long pointy metal ones? If so, I'd go as low as you can so the angle of the probe is as shallow as possible. That way you'll have more of the tip buried in beans.
Okie doke. I;ve made a couple more mods and I have a couple of questions.
I added foil around the handle on the far side from the chaff exit, (to cut down on draft), and I drilled a hole for the thermometer.
The hole for the thermometer puts the thermometer just above the rotating arms, but.....it tilts. I tried adding some foil around it to stabilize it, but I really seemed to have to hold it all the time to keep the tip in a reasonable place in the bean mass. And, no way can I focus if I am trying to hold the probe steady, read the timer, read the temperature, watch the color, listen for cracks, and smell the smells. Given that almost all of that is necessary, does anyone have a suggestion for stabilizing the probe?

Oh yeah, those are some Yemen Saan'ani beans.
Thanks
