Safety Awareness - Not Just A Slogan

During a recent spirit run, I was multi-tasking: Cleaning up odds & ends while running the pot. I was literally 10 feet away and didn’t notice that my parrot had leaned away from the product stream. About 4 ounces of high proof leaked in close proximity to the open propane flame. I’m confident that my extended Liebig condenser & parrot design — down & away from the burner helped to prevent a fire. That & the fact that I run in a well ventilated, open sided, covered shelter outdoors. Factor in safety when you do your builds, and practice the art responsibly please.
