FAQ
Do I have to have artisan probes installed?
No, you do not have to have Artisan probes installed as the Cormorant Roaster comes with an analog thermometer for roasting.
We can install BT and ET probes as an option on the roaster. But if you don’t want them installed, we do fit the access ports with M6 probe glands for 1 to 3mm Ø probes, in case you want to install them in the future. See Artisan options.
Can I use natural or butane gas?
Yes, but the power output on your roaster may vary from other roaster profiles because the power is less. Propane BTU output is the best option as the roaster is calibrated with a built in 50 MBAR regulator for best performance.
Can I roast Indoors?
The CR600 is designed for indoor roasting as it has a built-in chaff collector and an easy to connect foil ducting for smoke extraction, so you can ensure you have a smoke-free roast.
Does the roaster smoke?
All roasters create smoke during a roast, but the CR600 has a foil ducting that allows you to direct all the smoke outdoors.
How often should I clean the roaster?
The chaff chamber needs emptying after every roast except a de-caf roast. The underneath of the roaster top around the burner and the inside of the airflow areas including the fans need a vacuum after every 10 roasts. Please go onto our Youtube channel to find videos on deep cleaning your Roaster.
Does the drum need cleaning?
No, the drum should not need cleaning as the more you roast the more seasoned your drum will become.
What size are the artisan probes?
BT is M6, 3mm OD and 40mm long and the ET is M5, 3mm OD 60mm long. Please note that both are ungrounded K-type probes.
Where can I learn to roast on the CR600?
We have a Youtube channel that covers everything from First Roasts to maintenance and cleaning tutorials. We are also happy to do a one-to-one Skype or Zoom call to help with any further questions that you may have.
