THE STORY ON THIS ONE The current owner bought this roaster used back in 2016 from the original owner, who reported that this machine didn't get much use. In fact, the roaster was in storage when the current owner purchased it from the original owner. Since then, it’s been a daily workhorse, roasting at its peak 8-10 batches four days a week for six years straight. The current owner is selling it only because he is moving into a bigger machine. This Probat reportedly has been kept in top shape with weekly cleaning and quarterly maintenance. It’s fueled by natural gas, runs on standard 110-120V power, and includes a 20’ chimney. Located on the West Coast, this vintage Probat L12 is a reliable, stylish piece of roasting history just waiting for its next adventure.
