Don't buy a thing from this fucking shit bird. This is a total scam. Anyone that would claim a affiliation with stilldriking is a slide valve whore. Don't do it.

Re: Turbo Stomper???
Hello Swamprat,
I bought a "double-~thumper" from this guy before I came across the forum. The workmanship aint to great and the pot is really cheap. The pot had split and was coming apart, literally, after the 4th run. I have built several stills since I got this one from him. I use a remade version of the still I bought as my primary stil at this time. I have a 7.5 gallon low-profile pot and I use on the stovetop. I'm pleased with the performance of the still. First run with a 12-14% wash I end up with 50% finished product. Second run starting at 40% starts out at a 75%. This output is without any thumper being used. I'm currently working on pieces that I will be able to add-in to utlize the in-line thumper. That design is very easy to build and I would not hesitate to recommend it as a first still. I would be glad to discuss further if you are interested. PM me if interested.

Re: Turbo Stomper???
Thanks WW,
I have been around thumpers before and that is what got my interest from this guy. I know Still Drinkin is a bunch of losers and I was wondeing about this guy...
I came across an old half barrell that is going to start a new life as a cooker. I'm just looking for designs/ideas on collums etc. PM me with any ideas?

Mr Duck is right. The guy is tainted for life because he was (maybe he still is) part of stilldrinkin.
Better and cheaper to build it yourself even if you have to buy a few tools to complete the project.
Sooner or later you are going to build your own anyway. And modify it. And modify it...

Re: Turbo Stomper???
I registered for this site just to warn people about this. I ordered a $200 stomper from the guy as a xmas gift for my boyfriend. He picked up the phone and was totally nice and convinced me to buy it online. Then it never showed up. Ever. This was almost 2 years ago. I tried calling and suddenly he didn't pick up the phone anymore. I tried emailing and going through google vendors and still no response. It is a TOTAL RIPOFF. Every time I went back to the website it had changed with a different guys name and contact number. This person (these people) are the lowest of the low.
No, lower.
No, lower.

Sory to hear your misfortune. There is another 22 page thread all about this guy and all his associates.
They are truly scum.

Re: Turbo Stomper???
i had some dealings with these guys at the time they were in Michigan I only got my stuff (that I had to revamp) because I drove from Indiana to get it. They were some real shisters. I'd say by the way that they conducted themselves they were molested by their deadbeat dad while their mom watched jerry springer.
