Some sailors prefer to carry green coffee beans on board and roast them
as need it.
I wonder what is the best method to roast the beans on a sailboat?

Once in the Marquesas Islands, a local used a cast iron skillet and just
stirred the home grown beans around until he achieved his desired color. I
guess it could be that simple.
Enjoy,
Clark

I have hear of that, some English sailor using a cast iron skillet.
I have one and maybe it would be a good starter for me to learn while at
anchor.

Lots of smoke. I mean, *lots* of smoke. As in, I roast in my
basement with the benefit of a kitchen style exhaust hood feeding a
second exhaust fan. That's enough to prevent the smoke detector from
going off. Another problem is that the heat has to get up over 400
degrees for 5 minutes or more - this tends to scorch the pans, so
don't use the wife's favorites, and I wouldn't use teflon.

Use an outdoor BBQ with a whirlypop. As I mentioned, the stainless
dog bowl held with visegrips and heated with a heatgun is one way to
go. Its also possible to use certain models hot air popcorn poppers.
If these sound interesting, I can track down the links.

At home, If I can find one dedicated coffee roaster I'll probally buy it.
In the meantime I may experiment with our convection owen.

doesn't work.
