1K watt seems low for a heat gun. The junky Harbor Freight one I used to use put out 1500. With that gun and a simple lid I was able to reach 2C in 1# of beans in about 12 minutes unless it was really cold.
What is your ambient roast temp? Are you using a lid? Personally I would forget about the heating element and put those watts into a heat gun.
