Well, things got off to a good start today. I learned how to re-light the afterburner up on our roof, if it should ever fail us. Which it commonly does. I guess it's part of the weather here in Seattle that is to blame. All the sogginess and condensation gets into the rig during damp foggy or really wet weather, and prevents the pilot from lighting. Our afterburner is mounted horizontally, as opposed to the more common (?) vertical set-up, and this may have something to do with it too (?). Another piece to the roasting puzzle...
No major screw-ups today on my part - in fact, more of the opposite. I was feeling pretty confident all morning, and am slowly getting on a longer leash. I did charge the roaster 5 degrees too early once, but that was nothing major, and actually served as a good learning situation to see how that affected the time/temperature targets along our roasting profile. Good stuff!
Our Misty Valley right now is awesome!
Later gang
