Appreciation post: my $15 popcorn popper roasts better than the $300 drum I almost bought

I spent two years saving up for a drum roaster, then tried the popcorn popper method from a guy on YouTube and got a solid medium roast on my third batch. The batch size is tiny, about 60 grams, but for two cups a morning in my Wichita kitchen it works fine. Has anyone rigged a thermometer to one of these things, and where did you mount the probe?
