Directions:
Turn on your BBQ and set all of the dials to the highest heat setting. Roasting time should be about 15 to 20 minutes. Place your deep cast iron pan on the grill and let it warm up. Don’t forget to wear your oven mitts, as the pan will get extremely hot. Pour desired quantity of green unroasted coffee beans into the warm pan and close the BBQ lid. If you have a temperature gauge on your BBQ you will want to maintain a temperature between 205 to 260°C/400 to 500°F. Stir the beans once every 45 seconds. Stirring the beans decreases the time they touch the surface of the pan, ensuring consistency and preventing the beans from scorching. At around the 10-minute mark, the beans should turn a dark yellow/light brown. This colour will continue to darken, turning to a deeper brown between the 10- to 15-minute mark. Make sure the coffee beans hit first crack (a light popping sound) before pulling them off of the grill. Continue roasting until your desired roast profile has been achieved. First crack can happen anywhere between 15 to 20 minutes, depending on BBQ temperatures. Once your desired roast profile is reached, pull the beans off of the heat and pour on to a second pan to cool. Allow the coffee beans to off-gas for a few hours before packaging, storing, and brewing.
