Welcome to the forum.
I got my first still on amazon, they were also located in the same province that I live in. Not sure how it would go bringing it across the border.

I got the t500 reflux still. not the cheapest way to go, but a decent setup to start with. Now that I have learned a lot from when I started and have had experience running a still, I am building the setup that I want to use long term.

Nice intro, short and sweet!

Now that you've done that part, go ahead to the appropriate thread to ask questions about buying stills and such.

Try a build! Sooo simple.

Try the novice section and speak about what you want to make, and what the best way. But do some reading and at least know something before asking too many questions. Some here will be not so sweet with the response if you ask questions that are already answered 500,000 times.

Take your time and get a good plan and do plenty of reading, PLENTY! It will help you tremendously

thanks ShineOn
i already know what type o style o still i want,, i want an 8 gallon milk can, 2 piece dual purpose re flux/pot still column at 2 inch diameter..the longer the column the better... i would like to run it with a 1500 watt element with an amp/temp controller.. the temp gauges dont matter because i can always buy them as long as the holes are where they need to be because my soldering skills are none existent and i would rather buy than build at least at this point in my skills..
i'm a little scared to order from american companies like mile Hi distilling and brewhaus because im not sure how Canadian customs are?
i anyone in Canada has any advice please feel free to message me..
