Preserving boiler as the basis of a still
Posted: Thu May 11, 2017 3:03 am
Hi all
I have a cheap Chinese pot still which I am starting to learn with.
I am intending to make a CCVM still.
The problem I have is that if I use the mains gas I only have 70cm from the top of the pan to the ceiling.
I was advised to by a hotplate.
On an auction site I follow I have seen a preserving (jam) boiler.

Basically its a 30l pot with a 2500w heater.
I understand that these do not provide a constant heat (cycle on and off according to temp) but that the cut off can be bypassed)
What do you think? worth a punt for a few pounds?
