When looking through the spy hole at the burner i have noticed that some of the heights of the rows of burners are higher than others. Should they all be the same height? Should i clean the jet assembly? Not even sure how to clean the burner assembly. The roaster still roasts consistantly . Any ideas anyone. Mark

Do a through cleaning of the burner and burner chamber and see if this clears up the uneven heat. Should it make a difference? Probably not but as they say "cleanliness is next to...... (fill in the blanks with what ever fits for you)" Keeping the burner compartment clean will help you avoid flash fires should too much chaff collect in there. I clean out the burner chamber after each roasting session. This is over kill but I have gotten into the habit of cleaning the chaff collector and burner chamber at the same time when the roaster is cold and I have the vacuum running. I use a SF-1 so it is easy to do for me as two thumb screws removes the burner compartment side plate.

I am lucky in that we have exceptionally clean and decent water right out of the tap. All I need to do is run through a particulate filter (to catch any crud from the old municipal supply) and then through a activated charcoal filter to remove the chlorine and other off taste. I know some people have had to go as far as a reverse osmosis filtration system to get decent water to brew with. What comes out of my filtered faucet is pretty nice and pleasant to drink, brew coffee, and cook with. Here is what I have and to do to get good filtered water for brewing coffee. Faucet at the left in the photo (goose neck) supplies the filtered water for coffee here is the most current municipal water report for my city Mick - "Drinking in life one cup at a time" "I'd rather be roasting coffee" Roaster 1: San Franciscan SF-1 Roaster 2: Hottop B-2K+ Roaster 3: 2 kilo Chinese drum Grinders: Mazzer Major - Forte BG (x3) Pour over: Hario - Bee House - Chemex - Kalita - Bodum Drip: Bunn CWTF15-1 & CW15-TC (commercials) Espresso: Pasquini Livia 90 auto Vacuum: Cona - Bodum Press: Frieling - Bodum Colombia
