I use the Ikawa Home Roaster, which is a very small (60g max) air roaster with digital control of inlet temperature and fan speed. Would Scott Rao's new book be of much relevance to me?

It's mostly for traditional drum roasters. You'll get some useful bits of info out of it, but the bulk of the recommendations won't apply.

I think Rob Hoos did a class on roasting with the Ikawa, maybe you can look into that?

It is for the Ikawa Pro, though.

From those that have read this, would the advice be useful for something like a Quest M3, or just larger gas roasters?
I've been roasting with the Behmor 1600+ for a while and I'm looking to make a jump. I'm leaning towards a Quest over something like a Huky due to living space constraints. These seems like it could be a good book to get me started as I know a bit about roasting theory but really don't have a lot of actual experience with a real roster.

I roast on a Huky, and it's 100% applicable. It's for any traditional, gas-powered drum roaster, doesn't matter what size.

I have not received mine yet, but I'll go out on a limb and say as long as you can get good thermometrics in Artisan, you can use Scott's information.
