If certain minority groups get their way this kind of porn would be banned.

Nice one! What's the stability of the boiler like with that lot on top. I would have thought it would be a prone to toppling due to the condenser and parrot being offset so much.

Cheers,

Surprisingly stable but will brace it up to the rafters in the shed for extra support till I get a decent boiler made.

Once you get some liquid in the boiler, it should make it a little more stable but I found even with a full boiler my 2" pot still had a tendency to be top heavy (note this was not the standard 2" pot the FSD sell but on I knocked together out of 2" parts I had handy).

Definitely worth tethering the top to something!

Cheers,
Prof. Green.
