Advice on pot still design

[royboy73]

Have just been given a gas burner two bottles and a endless supply of free gas lucky me . So was thinking of using 18 gallon keg i have for stripping runs to try bring down my power bill .So using my electric bubbler less for bigger yield ? I could run the bubbler on gas i know but feel i can better isolate the flame on a pot.Feel free to give any advice or tell me its a dumb idea . Rough design is all 2 inch 900 riser to old shotgun condenser of another build to a parrot another left over vent by hole drilled in elbow .have some 3 inch i could use for riser if needed ? Just using what i have left over cheers roy

Some of the gas setups ive seen use a long leibig condensor to get the output away from the flame

Happy stillin

Why not just take all the plates and packed sections (if you have them) out of the bubbler and run it as a 4" pot?

I mean apart from the electricity issue.
Are the elements removable from your boiler?
If so just take them out and cap their ports off and bam its gas ready.

I've played with both LPG and elec (in the beer brewery side, but same logic here). Something I found, I calculated that LPG in 9kg bottles is approx 3 times the cost of elec to run.
