Re: My new to me pot still what yall think??

no this setup will work good, i'll be running it outside and then breaking it down and putting it in my garage. I could probally keep it outside all the time but don't want to chance it with the neighbors just in case they were to see through the woods

Re: My new to me pot still what yall think??

Thanks guys, Yeah I just have the lynarm just sitting in there and want to try using that paste for those two connections and see how it goes. I do feel it's really on the long side and would like to take a foot outta it. Just have to run it and see.

Thanks

Re: My new to me pot still what yall think??

Haven't run it, I gotta chop on my burner some to get the keg to fit on it. I was just kinda wanting people opinions on the pipe going to the doubler if I should cut it down shorter or not?

Re: advice on my thump keg

flange is complete and I couldn't be happier with it. I ran it on the belt sander to get a really smooth flat surface and it's dam near perfect. I must say my soldering and copper fabrication for my very first time has come out truly great. I guess those tig welding skills came in handy. I'm pretty ...

Re: where can you get 2 inch copper pipe??

That's probably DWV copper pipe (Drain Waste Vent). It's the thinnest of all the various grades, and meant for open (not pressurized) systems for drainage, etc. The good part is...it's lighter than K, L, or M copper, and much cheaper — particularly in larger diameters. But, you might also need to b...
