Interested in your popcorn popper roasting experience.

I've tried roasting using an unmodified popper but the time to 1st crack was short - somthing like 4 minutes. I found it difficult to control the process. I'm now planning to modify the machine by running the fan off an old laptop power supply and adding a rheostat to the heating circuit so that I can better control the heat.

This is a glorified popcorn popper at a fancy price.

Hi Squall, this will be my first baby step to roasting. I'm planning to use the RM70 China-made popper for a start.
Since I'm staying in condo venting out smoke is quickly a growing concern, something I need to address ASAP if I intent to make this a long term hobby.

Not only the smoke, also the chaff. Interested to read your feedback using a popcorn popper, the fan very quickly disintegrated in mine.
