parrot

Post by googe »

Hey all, had this idea and did a quick build to see how it looked. Product goes in the base through the outer tube and into the inner tube, up the inner tube and over the top back down the outer tube into the reducer. Do you think t will work ok?.

What is at the top of the inner tube, looks like there is no place for the alcoholmeter?

Looks to me like it should work fine. It would be a bit copper intensive unless a fellow had excess copper laying around with out a good use. I find most of the enjoyment from this hobby comes from figuring out how to get the results you want from your available resources. Most any one can get a decent drop (or most things in life) if they throw enough cash at the problem. I find it more interesting to use the resources I have on hand, or can beg, barter, or steal. ;)

Did you mean to have the solder on the bottom look like a dog pooping or is that just my imagination :crazy:

I see only one option left. You have to change your name to squatting dog. :moresarcasm: JK It looks like it does great and love the way you put it together.

I have been running a double tube parrot for a while now and i absolutely dig it. I have this one fabricated so the product flows into the inner tube and over flows into the outer tube (product outlet is out of the bottom port) I installed a dump valve on bottom of the inner tube so that the head shots can be drained out the bottom of the parrot and not get mixed into the good stuff. It also assists in draining the tails at the end of a run (I had a bad habit of pulling the parrot off to dump it and the alchometer would fall out on the floor). Looks good there pfshine, think you'll like how she performs...
