Oaky doaky I just logged on here and leafed though this post, jeez wood have guessed ya saps wood pith around about timbers in stills.
Anyway branching off from this silliness Googe why don't you consider mixing half and half wood and scoria, that would both filter and prevent choking :handgestures-thumbupleft:

It's oakay 12many, it's beem a lo n g journey and I've finally finished. Ran it today, was a strange run. About 18l tpw, got what smells like heads first 2 jars 94% then it dropped to 85% next 2 jars then dropped to %80 and kept dropping, funny thing is, the lower ABV jars are real.clean tasting/looking. It's diffidently taken the tom flavors out, can't smell or taste it in any jars. Will let it sit a bit and see what happens.

I think biggest prob with this experiment the oak flavours are to heavy to be carried in vapour so fall back into boiler. Did the Stuff left behind in boiler smell of oak? Need someway to full reflux after oak basket then collect ethanol between the oak basket and the packed section slant plate out to a condenser perhaps :think:
