Welcome reflux_island. Before you buy, I would take some time and read and watch and listen and ask lots aof questions before you go out an buy.
You will find that you can build a much better still for a whole lot less than you woudl to buy and also have the pride of having doing it yourself. I wish I have taken more time before I jumped into this.
If you haven't found it yet, go to the new distillers reading lounge and read up on the different types of stills, how to make a wash and how to run your rig.
Good luck and be safe.

Re: Greetings from Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Welcome to the forum. I love fishing and boating your waters. I run my boat up north every year and fish Rivers Inlet, I also like fishing Nootka Sound. I got tired of my fishing partner always buying $60.00 bottles of Bushmill and adding it to the food bill so thought I could make as good a booze and save some money
