I just ordered my Bullet R1. I’m currently using a 1912 Jabez Burns sample roaster. Needless to say, there’s not much in the way of controls. I’ve been using a Fluke 62 Max+ infrared thermometer to read the bean temps in the barrels. I’ve been pulling my roasts at around 242C. My guess is that I would hit second crack if I went six or so degrees higher. Does 242C sound about right for a full city roast with a Bullet?
I think that 242C will be in the Italian roast range.
Here is a chart that I put together a long time ago from different sources.
As always: Your mileage may vary.

Thanks for the chart. Regarding your pre-heat chart, does Aillio have a suggested temp for 200g? I could just scale down based the existing data.
I’ve never seen an suggested temp for 200g. I would just scale down a bit.
For 200g do 185c or 200c drop with low Power. I normally do 200 P5 and it seems to work. I also did a recipe for 200g because it does tend to be wonky to track.

I’ve been roasting 200g of two coffee because that’s what it takes to fill all the bean storage tubes I have. I’m going to get more tubes and go up to at least 250g
