So what sort of run times you looking at mac with a 18 gal boiler and 6inch bad boy? What sorta power you going with?

Hey Jonno,

I'm thinking around 4 hours from start to finish, with an expected take off speed around 5/LPH should satisfy me.

The boiler is set up to run two elements 3600w & 2400w with a controller on the 3600w

Once I've done a couple of runs and get to know my new rig I'll be posting all the details here, I'm hoping to have it running early next week when my new bubble caps arrive.

Cheers.

I did a little upgrade to my 6" x 3" reducer at the top of my new rig, it's a weldless thermowell & 3" dial thermometer I bought locally.

Holy fuck me that would look so good in my shed. Drool.. There's no way I could get my missus to approve that unless I shrunk the picture.
But when I set it all up and she seen it. She would lose her shit. I couldn't even lie about how much it cost lol.

Just ask her inside and point to her wardrobe, politely ask how much money is sitting in there for things she's only ever worn once ;-)

Yes mate I'm really chuffed to say the least, however I'd be even more happy if I could ever even remotely draw a wage for the amount of hours & frustration developing this gear...... hopefully one day it'll help pay the rent ;-) but for now it's just another extension of this hobby of mine.

I wouldn't have it any other way :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Very Cool Mac! I think the only person not jealous is Cupcake.... He's to busy bootlegging to be jealous, :laughing-rolling: You deserve it mate, all the hard work you put in helping us plebs. Bet you can't wait to start feeding rum to that bad boy.
