Stock pot still.. regular lid or bowl

[Seanjohn19]

Hey everyone I'm finishing up my stock pot still. I was wondering what everyone uses. Ive seen designs using the lid that come with the pot and I've also seen people using a stainless steel bowl. Ive got both laying around wanted to know what you're running. Also what are the benefits of using the bowl. My lid fits very snug and a few clamps and some paste and I'll be good but I've got the correct size bowl aswell. What do you all think?
