Thanks for testing this Flint. I toyed around with it by placing a probe up the backside of the roaster too, but I think the design of the Huky doesn't really allow for isolating incoming airflow from the burner so I didn't go anywhere with it. I mostly use ambient temp from my Phidget setup.

I will hope some questions come up like that during the iteration session. I'm curious could you elaborate about the Huky airflow as you see it?

I had one In the outlet a couple years ago, but learned little from that

Thanks for the link! Rob's book is there in digital form for $20! That's a no-brainer, something I'm really good at.

Am I doing something wrong that tipping hasn't ever been an issue? Is it common?

May be a case of you don't know you have it until you start looking closely. Mild tipping doesn't present much in the cup, but we still strive for better roasts.

No doubt. The pictures online seem hard to miss, but I presume it's a spectrum like most things. I doubt my palate is discriminating enough to notice.

I made a nice thermocouple bracket to measure incoming air. Temps are way behind, 300°thereabouts using a 5mm probe. I'll switch it to a 2mm unit that's lying somewhere here.

Using the latest Artisan software makes it very difficult to select the right 'extras'
