Hi again all, can anyone share the angle your drum is set up on so it allows for bean drop when the door is open? I figure it doesn't need to bee too steep but I doubt it can be completely flat. thanks Kelly |

Is the first time I hear there is such angle... always thought the beans are pushed outside by vanes ! |

Looking at some of the example drums, it looks like the vanes pull the beans towards the back as they toss them in the air. I assumed, there was a slight angle involved to get them to return to the front of the chamber |

Drum is level, outer vanes against the drum move the beans forward (and out) and the inner vanes move them back to keep them evenly distributed while roasting. |
