Things are up in the air for me and I have been away from the boards for awhile but perhaps we can get enough interest we could do a Fall BOTL camping Trip here in the desert.
My air popper blows from the bottom too, I just stir occasionally and try to keep my batches under 4oz. I am still learning how to roast myself, trial and error dude. You'll figure it out. :)
Regardless of how well you do under pressure while operating a vehicle/aircraft, it's always a good idea to train and train some more (regardless of your skills with a gun). :)
I bought a bag of blue mountain beans (Marley Coffee) but it wasn't that good and it turned out to be mostly a blend. I am just starting to get into roasting and I plan to eventually buy and roast some.
