For those more "scientific" souls who meticulously record all the
details, how much difference in setting should be used on a HWP when the
roaster is already warm (versus first roast of the day)?

I consistently get to the first crack 15 seconds faster on the 2nd and
subsequent roasts.

Coach,
If you look at the web page at:http://homepage.interaccess.com/~pierces/RoastData.htmland follow the link titled "Comparison of very first batch with the next 
batch in the Precision..." you will find a graph which shows the 
differences in roast times under the conditions that you mention.

I never make any sort of compensation for a warm HWP roaster vs. a cold
one and yet I haven't found any noticeable difference between the first
and subsequent roasts.  FWIW, I do all my roasting indoors so my
roaster is around 65øF when cold.

Looking at your graphs. Was the setting on the two and cold roasts the
same as for the four roasts (4.5)?

Since the time to cooling is longer for the four consecutive roasts, the 
timer was set higher than 4.5, but when I looked through my notes I didn't 
find the setting.
