They are Hottop Basics, Ray. I hope to revive them at some point. I am also considering the Huky, which might require less maintenance than the Hottop.

I've been roasting for about 10 years, albeit on primitive DIY roasters (2). The first one was similar to the Behmor, but maybe before Behmor was available? Both drum roasters, but smoke, sound and smell was all I could go by. About a month ago I bought a Hottop and the coffee is infinitely more complex. Example: During the ramp to first crack I heard the fan come on for 10 seconds, checked the manual and it is designed to remove humidity from the drum???.Wow!. The batch sizes are smaller and the maintenance is more, but the coffee's worth it.

I am cleaning and repairing an 8828 P. In case you don't know, the hottop website has invaluable information and great videos on troubleshooting and repairing the roaster. Good luck!
