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

Reverse Air Flow (RAF) mod problems
Joyride	#1 Posted on 10/26/2019 11:42 PM

I'm hoping to get some help on the RAF-1 Extreme mod that ceil-007 described in this thread https://forum.homeroasters.org/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=3236&rowstart=40 I got everything working last night, and started doing roasts today. The thing that I'm finding is that turning on my fan to level 1 of 10 causes the ET probe to immediately start dropping. In order to not kill a roast, I have to turn the fan on and off every 15-30 seconds in order to keep the ET up once I've gone past FC. Is this typical for other folks using this mod? Thanks!

One thing to keep in mind is that Fern tested a lot of tubing sizes/locations/angles before he settled on his choices. Be sure to read that thread further to see how the RAF-1 changes fan inputs (No fan at all until just before first crack), and how venting the plenum box is used instead of the fan to move air through the roaster: https://forum.hom...post_50706 Good luck!
