Building my first still

[JayD]

Looks good...be real carefull once you find any vapour leaks or distillate. I urge you to retify the leaks before they ruin you confidence with a presurised fire or worse a explosion...keep a fire extinguisher handy at all times while running your still. I think you need to adjust the oxygen intake on your burner to remove the sooty burn you have got going there ? you can do this by adjusting the threaded discs on the burners, you are looking for a nice blue look to your flame. Take care and I hope you have many years of good stilling.

Thanks JayD - it was running a bit yellow for sure. I will check out adjusting the oxygen intake. I'm certainly not prepared to take risks with this stuff. I ran it out doors.
