Welcome, backyardburner...
The type of still you start out with depends on what type of spirits you want to end up with... For neutral spirits a reflux still works best... For flavored spirits like whiskey, rum, or brandies, a pot still is a better choice... Copper and Stainless Steel structured packing are 3X more efficient than structured ceramic or marbles...
