Hey guys, currently in the process of finishing my ss keg still.

Getting rid of my old sterilising rig.

I have a single ring burner sitting in the shed, will this be big enough to heat and distill 30 liters thorugh my super boka?

It would make a long day even longer (Just ask BGT),
I use a 4 ring burner and it takes 30 mins to produce product, so it would just add to your heating up time but once its boiling you will be controlling the output of spirits and the bulk of it would be refluxing back down the column, so if it can produce a boil it will be fine. Just take a little longer to get that sweet sweet liquor :-D

Perhaps a dumb noob question, but can those be used on a NG (bayonet) outlet if I get the adaptor - or not a good idea?

NG needs a bigger jet to make it work on a normal BBQ, i am not sure if a 3 ring has jets ? if yes then maybe getting NG jets or drilling them out to NG size would work?

i drilled out some standard BBQ jets one time to use on NG when i was living in SYD as we had a NG point for the BBQ area. worked fine :)
i should get a NG gas point put on in my shed as the line is "just there" ...

That is the burner. I had a look today it is cast. so i guess drilling it out would be okay. They only had a double instock, comes with all the fittings and little individual taps/adjusters on each burner.
