Five Pounds in Two Hours

Yesterday, I roasted 6 batches back to back. Whew! A full five pounds, or maybe a little more, by the time I was done. I am roasting Honduran Organic SHG Marcala for holiday gifts for my colleagues at work. For the first time, I tried two full cups in each batch and the roast was very even and consistent. The warmed up rig shaved 2-3 minutes off the total roast time for each consecutive roast. I took it to the first snaps of second. I was pleased to have no problems raosting back to back. Nothing melted! No catastrophes! I need to do it again before Friday, then again this weekend.
