welcome and all I can say is take your time, read, ask questions, read somemore before you decide on what to build or buy, for I and many others here have been too anxious to start this hobby and have either bought the wrong still or built one that is out dated when ones that are far better, and cheaper to build are out there.

You will have many here telling you that patience and time are necessary to make good whiskey.

Welcome aboard Bog.

My advice to you is build your own rig, it will be a fun project.
