You'll need to buy these:

I have one of those classic pot clip thermometers which I leave in the brew pot, and then I also have a quick-read thermometer which is excellent to get very quick, accurate readings. I use them both - the turkey fryer thermometer is not always precise enough for steeping, etc.
[edit] - obviously the other thermometers listed here with separate probes are nicer and way more accurate, but I wasn't willing to jump up to taht price range. If you are, go for those!
First, what type of coconut oil are you using? Pure coconut oil (completely virgin, no additives) has a really slow smoke point, 350 degrees fahrenheit(Wiki article on various smoke points). You could very likely be getting the oil too hot. I'd recommend getting a thermometer like this to safely measure the fryer temp.
Pick up a deep from thermometer like this or this.
Once you have a thermometer of your own you can use this, or any other deep cast iron pan as a deep fryer. Alton brown shows how this is done.
Of course for fried chicken, this is the traditional way.
Enjoy your new pan! If you treat it right it shall last you several lifetimes and provide you with many fine meals.
Try adding more beans, like 75-100g range. Wear a leather glove to protect your hand, and then use something like a kabab skewer stick or wooden spoon or buy a turkey fryer thermometer to stir the beans. I don’t let the fan do the work until FC starts.

This let me go from ~5 min to the longer roasts I felt worked best, ~7-12 min.
