I might be in a position to look at some of these things in a month or so, we're just a little bit under the pump at the moment ;-)

In the mean time I'd like to show you all our new 2400w elements, they're the same as before only now they are 100% staino :dance:

We've improved the quality and kept the price the same, even though they cost us a little more.

Pics.

They'll be available in the web store by morning :D

Hi all,

Had a bit of a crazy day and only just back at my computer now, please don't think I'm ignoring you if your waiting for a response as my email inbox is full.

I'll do my best to get back to everyone this evening, I'll be all caught up again by morning :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I just might start a topic about my day a bit later in the week, Gas on & I were out consulting an award winning distillery about a few things.... twas an interesting day :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Those new elements look the goods
Are they Aussie made? (not that it really matters in the grand scheme of things)

G'day Spork,

They're made in China by a company that has awesome business ethics, these elements have proven their reliability well beyond expectations & and we're just making them a little better now without increasing the price :dance:

Just a quick note to let everyone know all of our popular elements are now back in stock, as are guards and pretty much everything else is either here on or it's way.

Pot stills, Mac 4"s in 4" & 6" as well as Neutralizers in 4" & 6" are also in stock too :handgestures-thumbupleft:

All the odd custom parts you guys have been ordering are also in now, we'll be packaging over the weekend and getting it all out to you ASAP.

Things are really starting to ramp up now with everyone's tax returns starting to trickle in, Mrs Mac & myself are doing as much as we can to keep things running smoothly & your patience is appreciated while we're having our busiest period ever.

Cheers,

The Mac's :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Dont pull ya hair out over it Woody , we all make the odd mistake, sometimes its just a typo, sometimes rushing in without thinking, other times just a few to many drinks :laughing-rolling: Its when it becomes a regular thing that we begin to worry ;-)
