I am trying to use an air popcorn popper to roast coffee (a not unusual use for air poppers these days). However, the temperature is too high. I thought I could put a rheostat in the hot wire to the heating element. My concern is in choosing a pot with an appropriate power rating and resistance. While I found formulas, I wasn't able to figure out how to use them properly. Can someone help? Any comments appreciated. The popper is labeled as 1440 watts, 120 volts @ 60 Hz. (The instruction manual seems to only be useful for user operation: http://www.gopresto.com/downloads/instructions/04821.pdf.) If you can suggest a pot or two from Mouser, that would also be helpful, since there are so many.
