Subject: Commercial coffee roaster that can be portable?
|
Greetings
Does anyone in this group know of a minimum 1KG commercial roaster
that could be transported to trade shows/fairs? It would preferably
need to use 110 power and use propane for its heating agent. I know
from experience what a nightmare it can be to meet codes at certain
venues but I would largely use it outside at county fairs etc.
Any assistance would be most welcome
Thanks
Frank

Frank and all,
I really enjoy my 4lb Ambex. But "portable" is definitely a term up for
debate.
Like the others in this thread, my roaster is also mounted to something with
casters but it's rather top-heavy.
And, BTW, it is propane-fired.

p.s. Scott, what happened at this year's roast-off?

but remember that "portable" is a relative term...
My 1 Kg is on wheels, fair wizzes around, but I wouldn't want to lift it.
my 5 Kg roaster is protable, so portable it hasn't been removed from the
wheels we used to get it into the roastery.
alas the wheels I used for the 15 Kg had to be returned, otherwise that
would be "portable" as well...

My 15K was originally delivered to Cass Lake,
Minnesota. I moved it from there to Whiteriver, Arizona,
to Show Low, Arizona, then to Shiprock, New Mexico, and
finally to Lisbon, New Hampshire... roughly 4500 miles
within 25 months. Does that qualify as portable?
Two fixed wheels in back and two casters in front.
Originally all four were hard rubber, but I changed the
two rears (which carry the brunt of the load) to steel.
Pushing a top-heavy 1000 lbs around on 3" wheels isn't
the most advisable thing in the world, but it's not
bad as long as you're on a hard surface. I've had the
misfortune to have to maneuver it around on a gravel
driveway (not fun!), not to mention across a lawn
(using sheets of plywood for a "road.")

sounds about as portable as mine :)
(The phone call to friends went something like
me "hi come around for a coffee"
them "we already have friends here"
me "bring them for a coffee - don't be rude"
they did, and that was the unloading the truck problem sort of solved... the
tail lift made life much simpler :)
