Wow

I tried to read this thread.... it is difficult

amazing how far the hobby has come

old wive's tales being debunked in a regular basis

Thumper?
YES!
2 even.
RUM time!

I loves me a good dark Navy style rum!

Boiler and 2 retorts, run like a Jamaican distillery.... and MAGIC happens!

I haven't read this for awhile,I did a search for a 3 way valve nothing popped up. I use a T port 3 way to bypass the heads. A small 500 watt element is useful to warm up your retort which helps keeping the retort from filling up too much.
Edit: I pretty sure it was a t port but do your own research.

Here was a quick search from Still Dragon and Brewers Hardware.

Side note: Spot the insane price difference. 4 times more expensive with Stilldragon. Since I had checked the prices for this exact item before I got a strange feeling when I checked the links from Windy. Just wow.

Windy C if you did that search for me I thank you. I bought my 2 off AliExpress. I use one to bypass heads to a liebig. I use this condenser because it's easier to clean then my shotgun.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have Oak stills as a resource when I built all my equipment
