Thanks for the addition to the group. Seriously considering building a drum roaster along the lines of oldgrumpus's. Love the design and craftsmanship.

Quest M3 - front bearing lubrication

The owner's manual states to use 1 drop of oil between the rotating and unrotating parts of the front center drum bearing. I assume I need to use a high temp food grade oil but not sure. Can someone recommend a specific product to use? Thanks!
