**Smoke Roasted Coffee**

[swamprb]

I read this article in Saveur magazine http://www.saveur.com/article/Wine-and-Drink/Where-Theres-Smoke and though I knew I would never be able to achieve the results of the roasters that are wood fired, but gave it a shot anyway.

I set my Weber 1000 and RK Drum coffee roaster up with the Flavor Dome grill smoke box http://www.ribolator.com/product_info.php?products_id=79&osCsid=hts49vcau4jgm97n943dtopjt4 with some Oak barrel staves and slow roasted three 1 pound batches (light and dark WTF Izit, and 1 Sweet Maria's Liquid Amber)

It took @ 25-32 minutes per batch, I let them rest for 3 days and the shots I pulled were very smooth and some of the best I've roasted so far. Not sure if I have the patience to do it every roast but it was worth it.

And they say it couldn't be done!

I've wanted to do this for so long......you think this could be pulled off with a UDS? I have no gasser......what kind of temp do you need?

That's really cool, I would love to know more about the process.

I have to say Brian's fresh roasted coffee is the best I've ever had.

Those beans look really good! I used to roast my own green beans, still have the machine, but haven't re-stocked on the beans in several years. I may have to consider it now.

I'm sure you get asked this all the time, but where does one acquire a drum like that? Are they still available somewhere?
