Hi,
I'm about to buy an oven toaster w/ a rotisserie, coz I finally found a 1,500-watt unit. But before I do so, a couple of questions ...
- I have a La Germania range, with 3 gas burners on top + 1 electric. Below is a big oven with a rotisserie, powered by electricity, where my wife does some lasagna and bakes a few things. It's not ideal to roast coffee there and use it for some other purposes, right?
- Alfonso, in his CG post about his rotisserie, mentioned about a slow RPM, but finds it still ok for coffee roasting. Is it possible to tweak the motor to increase speed and do no harm to it? I'm no electronics guy, but I know a some guys who can do the job.
BTW, the 1500watter I saw was HUGE. Like, maybe 24 liters in there. Costs something like $80.
The drum, btw, I'm sure I can go to a local tinsmith and do it for me, similar to those RK drums.
I want a new roaster coz I'm having difficulty making light roasts with the Whirley Pop. The 1C and 2C, sometimes there's no lull between them. 2C comes as soon as 1C ends. Maybe coz even though I don't ever stop stirring the beans, they just won't get as much agitation as a drum roaster. I hope to have the rotisserie ready when the Esmeralda greens come.
