Sod's Law says it's the best time for shit to go wrong. Right when you turn your back. Turn the fucker off if you have to.
If your mate opened the gas valve as much as he could, where were you to correct him of his errors?
It's your still, you should be the only one driving it. You should be the one taking the time to check/re-check everything before ignition.
Supervise very closely if your mate wants a crack at it. At the end of the day, it's your house he burns down with your still. Try explaining that!
PS: That gas hose wasn't connected with a jubilee clamp was it? :naughty:

I love the speed & adjustability of gas but no matter how safe you make it you just can't eliminate the dangers. Using an open flame is a constant ignition source for any mishaps & the gas is a potential fuel source when something goes wrong like it did with you here.
Electric is so much safer when set up correctly

I beg to differ here , you are stating this as if electricity is risk free and not one thing could go wrong "bullshit" . What ever you use some common sense needs to be employed , having a rubber gas hose connected where it can get hot and catch fire is not "common sense" not even close to it. In fact it is exactly comparable to bodgy element wiring
