Hey Guys,
I have a question relating to the Temp Control on the 12kg, precicely to its connection with the gas control and how they work together.
If i am settting the Temp Control to 445F and im working with that temp for 6kg batches. I am using a bottom temp of 375. Once it hits that im cranking up the gass and charging once the temp passed 445 and comes on its way down which it would show a charge temp of around 420 on roast path.
My questions is : if i put th Control Temp to 410. and I hit a bottom temp at 375. What happens with the gas if im doubling the gas? is the machine going to heat more with gas charge being higher even though the temp is set to 410?
I would like to join your team am in Kuwait
