Highest chance of success - roasters

There are many iterations of Larry Cotton's wobble disc roaster but it's how i started and it worked great. I have a Kaffelogic now and I feel the quality of the roast is better and consistent but the wobble disc roaster was a really good intro using a heat gun. {link}
