Thanks for the demonstration. I use a roaster like this commercialy and I save a lot of money doing the maintanance by myself. The roaster is really durable by the way. I have been roasting for 4 years now (more than 6 .000 kilos of coffee) and I didn't have any problem so far!
Thanks for all the vids, super helpful. Waiting for my Yoshan 2KG electric to arrive. Wished I had seen these videos earlier to take advantage of whatever discount you have. it will be interesting to see how much different is roasting on electric vs. gas.
Awesome content Rob, appreciate you helping all of us! Is there ever a need to lubricate anything else on the machine? Have you ever had to do any maintenance on the drum motor chain?
Hello Sir…i already purchased my yoshan 2kg. I just need to know your set up on your Artisan..I already install Artisan but my laptop is not reading the temperatures
Thanks once again rob. I was going to contact Erin about this but this has probably saved me a lot of time and money. have you greased the back bearing? I need to take the casing off and check again because I think I saw another video of someone greasing a nipple. Have you checked this before? If not I’ll have a look
@@fun52dig I have the stainless steel drum and yes, I do get an even roast. There are pros and cons to a cast-iron versus steel drum, so it really depends on what your roasting style is in the types of coffee you plan on selling. For me, the stainless steel was a better fit.
You’ll most likely need a new bearing if yours is stuck on. Is it squeaking? Make sure you order the bearing and lube and have it ready for removal or you’ll have to wait after removal to fix it. Use a screw driver and try to get between the housing and the front face of the roaster. If you have lubricant, rub a little on there and see if you can get it free. You can also use plumbers pliers to try and get a grip on the housing to pull it away. Might want to use a small microfiber towel and place it between the tool and your roaster parts in order to not scratch up your roaster.
@@ocdcoffeeclub4796 no squeaking or anything. Actually, probably after a week of having the roaster and finally getting it set up, I was able to do everything needed to the back bearing and adjusting the drum gap and such. I did attempt to get the front plate off at that time too, before it had even ever been roasted on. It’s a 2kg machine that I’ve had for probably 2 years now and have roasted less than 200-300 pounds
Thanks Rob for this DIY video. Greetings from Costa Rica!

Thanks Rob! Hello from the Land of Thousand Islands! The Philippines! I'm using a Yoshan 1kg. A new subscriber.
@@01redlightning welcome! Thanks for subscribing 🙏🏻
You are a (roaster) lifesaver! Thank you!

Is there ever a need to lubricate anything else on the machine?
Have you ever had to do any maintenance on the drum motor chain?
Good video. However, isn't this a sealed bearing? If so, I'm not sure the point of trying to lubricate.
Hello Sir…i already purchased my yoshan 2kg. I just need to know your set up on your Artisan..I already install Artisan but my laptop is not reading the temperatures
So, your replacement bearing # is ending in a single z not zz ? Meaning only one side is sealed or closed vs both.
It’s supposed to be ZZ. I’m glad you plotted that. I’m going to update the link.

You know, I haven't yet, but I need to. When I do, I'll make a video of it.
Do you have the stainless steel drum or cast iron? Do you get a good even roast from the Yoshan?

is the bearing size here for the 2kg similar for the 1kg?
@@coachigelopez3821 i’m really not sure on that. You might have to check in with your Yoshan rep.
@@ocdcoffeeclub4796 got this. thanks much! love your videos!
I can’t get the square metal piece off for the life of me

How long have you been using the roaster? Have you ever lubricated it previously?
