HotTop - top filter?
Rallen
Hey there.

I am picking up an old HotTop tomorrow, as an upgrade from my current Caf? Gene roaster.

I have been reading a bit around about the HotTop, and found out that it features 2 filters - a top filter and a back filter. I am planning to replace the back filter with a 120mm aluminum fan gitter is explained in this guide:
http://www.frcndi...ilter.html

Now I am wondering though, what should I do with the top filter? Can I just leave it as it is? Clean it once in a while (how?), or replace it with something whole different?

Any other comments about recommended mods or anything else about the hottop would be much appreciated.

Thanks already!

I have only replaced my top filter once in several years. I will wash it next time. I wash the rear filter every 20 roasts.

When I replaced my top filter, it made a BIG difference in the speed of the roast.
