Hello All,

I'm curious if any of you are measuring (and logging?) drum pressure and any advice you may have for approaching how to do it.

I have a few reasons for wanting to do this. First, I want to be sure that I'm making changes to my airflow at the right times and in the right amounts. I want to ensure I'm maintaining at least just-negative pressure and that I can respond to pressure changes as they happen.
Also, one of my roasters (CTE Ghibli R15) uses an on/off burner and when the burner ignites, the drum flashes positive. I want to measure this and try to figure out if it's affecting flavour.
Lastly, we're fighting a bit of back-pressure from our afterburner (long story). If I can measure drum pressure then I can quantify the back pressure.

Thanks!
Tim
