Next time you have to do something like this, let's do it over here.  You can watch direct, whilst I have some fun.

Glad you got it working again.... I'd hate to hear that any Yemen pooching was Gene's fault!

Did you turn British again?

There will be no pooching.  Herr Schmdit did the honors -- wasn't sure when parts would come in, whether I could "heal" the Gene, and I like Yemens on about 7-10 days rest.  He nailed all 7 samples yesterday and they will do him proud of the 5th.

Glad to hear it's working.
Great pictorial and troubleshooting dialog.
As a Gene owner, and having tapped on Tim's expertise once already,
it is great to know what an incredible asset Tim is to us Gene owners.
Could you recreate the whole process while filming it.  One of those "Flip" type
video camera's, and post the "tutorials" in this thread for possible later research?

Wise enough to put it on me.  Now I have to scour some of the old threads to find the excuses OG used, just in case one of the roasts was poochy.

A larger capacity Gene has been rumored for two years.  On two occasions, they had an alpha model on display at Coffeefest/SCAA.  So where are their energies?

Bringing out a red model of the same 230 gram capacity.  They don't get it.

Amen!

I couldn't resist the urge to buy a new toy today when I found this Gene on Craigslist for an awesome deal. So now I have another roaster in the line up I think the Behmor may be on its way out.

Are these the bumpers I keep reading about?

Yep.

Congratulations, nice roaster!

Congratulations, nice roaster!

Thank you!

As you may have noticed it does not have the larger chaff collector that comes standard now. I'm guessing the attachment that is on there now is the older style chaff collector. I didn't realize this until after the fact but consider the price I got I won't complain. I found a website that sell the newer one I'm wondering if it is worth buying?

The large chaff collector makes it easy to duct the exhaust out a window, one of Gene's big strengths.
