Poppery disaster
I've been roasting coffee for more than a dozen years. Throughout that time, the original West Bend Poppery has been my workhorse roaster. I've worn out 4 or 5 of these machines, scavenging usable parts from the dead soldiers to keep the rest running.
I've never seen one spew flaming beans over a 6' circle. OK, so truth be told, I still haven't seen that because I didn't see what actually happened. I started the roast, set the kitchen timer for 5 minutes figuring the roast would take about 6, and went to do other stuff. Timer went off, and I smell smoke...which is billowing out of the roaster. There are burning beans scattered all to hell and gone and several small fires in the leaves. The oil lamp chimney was somehow blown out of the roaster and lay broken on the ground. I have no idea how that shit could even happen, but there it is. Fortunately I have backups...I pressed one of those into service so I'll have coffee in the morning. Sure glad I roast outside...
