Congratulations on getting it running. Looks like a basic machine that out to last forever if you maintain and It's interestingly attractive. No idea what it is, but someone tried to differentiate it's looks from the more normal boring stainless box and I think it came out nice

They were out in the Ceado booth at SCA. That's the only grinder that's ever made me consider buying the show special on release because of the look. No knowledge and $6500 kind of got in the way

Far as I know the only difference between the 2 motors is a internal gear ratio that's different by 2-1. No clue what's better. Personally, I don't think it's possible to get consistently good roasts on a Behmor no matter what you do. Even with FrankenBehmor I had trouble. I passed FrankenBehmor on ...

Pull of the right side and fine the sensor bolted to the right rear side of the chamber. 2 small white wires as I remember. You can also add a resistor in series to make it think the temperature is lower. Or maybe it's in parallel, I forget. Use a switch so you can take it in and out

Then definitely fix the Behmor. As long as they supply spare parts, it will never wear out. You can put in the fast motor if you want, I forget which speed it will run at but it will work fine. You can also do things like loosen the screw on the temperature sensor at the right rear of the chamber

That Ceado is awesome thought I would have suggested the variable speed version, but there is no feedback I've seen on that grinder about how it grinds, so while stunningly beautiful, and probably really good, who knows. $7000 when the variable speed one came out a few years back so it made no penet...

No, it should need nothing to seal, just don't over tighten it, snug + 1/4 turn at max to start, then check and a bit more if necessary

I'm not aware of anything that will do that. Most roasters are today are going for control and not big volume low cost like the Behmor. If you've been happy with the Behmor, I'd get a new motor and maybe a spare afterburner as they used to go bad. I hated the upgrade because of that darn new safety ...

Having a powered solder sucker like the Hakko FR301 makes all the difference removing parts like that. I use the Hakko but there are a lot of Chinese clones that claim to work the same, but I've never tried one

So for some reason I was thinking about Gary's comments about running 2 empty roasts to pre-heat the roaster. I never pre-heat the roaster as I don't seem to notice a difference but it crossed my mind that if we really want to heat the roaster would it make sense to create a pre-heat profile that ra...
