That looks like you are connecting a hose bib to a pipe thread. Different fittings.

Looks more like flair to pipe to me

Would been used most likely on stove like this.

It has few uses. Main one is a wash boiler. 2 nd would be for waterbath canning

DO NOT DO OPTION 1. IT IS A BOMB .

If you cant get full reflux with current deflag changing style of still won’t help. You either need less heat or larger condesor

I use a closed head 30 gallon barrel. Its 1.2 or 1.5 mm thick. Welded a 8” ferule for colum mount. Long as i tie end of condesor to ceiling it supports my lm/vm head.

Even if you can find a steer to slaughter, the abattoirs are booked until next year. If you can butcher your own it's flush right now...

Im booked till med February.

Biggest reason for for the shortages was shortage of workers in plants. Some plant are setup for either wholesale sized packaging or retail size, not eazy to convert from one to another. Where I’m just a lil redneck with a knife workin on one animal at a time. I have 6+ farmers that i can get beef f...
