Hey guys new here and recently drew up some designs for a new still I plan to make and I ended up drawing 3 and I wanted to see which one everyone thinks will work best.

Hobo: Welcome to the forum, give us some background on you and your experience. What do you want to make first?
While I can't see your photos (yet) I'm wondering why you wouldn't start out with a proven design and then build experimental test stills.
There's a lot to making a great product, and a proven design and a proven recipe are important to getting launched in the right direction.
Bull.

Checked out the new distillers reading lounge. You never know what you will find? Ok you will find the same thing every time. But its all good stuff just got to look for it.
Read this thread.

If Blanikdog was around he would tell you that your better off smashing the thermometer then putting it in your pot still.

He would even offer to smash it for you.
Edited spelling.
