Re: [BlindHandyMan] talking thermometer or other solution.

[Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press]

Aloha Sheryl,
Given that the beans are inside a drum that can 
be 400 degrees hotter than the actual beans, I 
think that some device that will speak the 
digital readout of the existing thermometers 
would be the easiest way to go since those 
thermometers are already installed in the big roaster.
I wonder if the manufacturer of the roaster could 
be of any assistance in this quest.
