IMO it can help extend the life of a popper by letting it rest and cool down a little between batches. I burned out a cheapy as well as an original Poppery I'm pretty sure by roasting batch after batch.

But as I said, I've walked away and forgotten about roasts more than once. If 45 minutes of continuous run time doesn't fry an OP - even after more than one attempt with the same unit - I kinda don't think heat is the issue. These are beast machines. And just to be clear, these were OPs that I had modified to bypass the thermal cutout switch. They ran on full for the whole time. (Sidebar: Not for nothing do I roast outdoors. )

How did you manage the smoke and the chaff?

window open, and I used a roaster not a popper. But it was messy as hell.

I am lucky to live in the land of many small roasters who roast daily, but I do miss roasting my own. Maybe someday...

The other (bypassing the thermal protection switch) isn't hard but is more intricate and involves much more disassembly/reassembly. I've needed to do that with about half of the OPs I've run. Truer words were never spoken!

Thanks Doug. I'm going to put that on the to-do list for sure. I'm back to buying coffee from the store and it isn't the same.
