Thanks!

When looking at my Artisan profile or the one shown in the video by Rob Dionne, it can be a challenge because we have similar but not identical roasters to yours. I'm guessing that he has a double walled drum similar to yours. Also, I'm using 100% air from the outset, Rob is using 40%. 40% on his may be
