This is a full teardown and review of a Chinese fluid bed roaster sold on Ali Express. This is often sold as a "Smola" or a ZC Roasters BC150 and BC300 (which correlate to the 150g or 300g capacity). I have not found a U.S. supplier for these roasters, so I decided to roll the dice on this and create a detailed FIRST impression of the roaster. My ultimate goal is to create a fully automated, PID-controlled iKawa killer at a fraction of the price. THAT will be a project for another video, but for now, I hope you learn something about this cool little roaster. Give a like, leave a comment, and subscribe!
