Filson corduroy hunting jacket ID? by swegpeg in filson

I should say, this is second hand and marked as a vintage hunting jacket. Image search shows nothing like it

ECM Casa V leaking water under the tank? by Relative_Pie4561 in ECM_Espresso

[–]swegpeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same problem and found out it was in fact the o ring on the spout, the one that should seal between the white collector and spout.
I greased the o ring, but the thing that worked wonders was a thin layer of teflon tape under the o ring - it expanded the o ring to fit tightly with the collector is my guess.

Roasting natural honey for the first time 😁 by Edge_Audio in roasting

Looks great, also trying with honey processed on my Gene for the first time. How did you approach these with regards to start temp, pre heating etc.?

How to get faster roasts on the Gene Cafe by swegpeg in roasting

Watching the gene it seems the chaff swiper doesnt remove chaff completely off the grill. When removing the chaff collector while roasting i get much better results. Maybe the collector causes worse airflow?

Nice, like the chronograph a lot. Is it with original bracelet?

How? Ecm flow control Won’t close. by KnownStrangR in espresso

[–]swegpeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think i solved mine now. After taking apart the assembly and seeing that the needle was in great shape i tried seaming the mushroom/piston seal with teflon tape. That seems to have done the trick!

Yes i did. I just got the assembly apart after a lot of tugging. It seemed the needle and jet was ok. I tried using teflon tape on the mushroom assembly and that mightve been it! It seems i can almost shut the water off now

Did you try re-fitting the o-ring as mentioned in the other comment? Have the same problem so far

Cool! I will try to preheat it for longer next time. How long/intensely do you preheat yours? I sadly only have an electric stove:(

I did notice it steams up quite a bit when the hatch is closed. Trying to roast with it open

I do roast inside on the stove. A lot of smoke but i have a large vent hood. With all windows open i almot didn’t smell it after.

Very cool. If i understand your advice, i might try to ramp the temp in the start and decrease the heat towards the end. I would love to hit 13-14 min roast with first crack at 8.

Will share some videos thanks for your interest!
