My debut copper pot still with two Thumpers: A submersible adventure.
She is absolutely ugly. But she works and puts out ever time I ask her to. I have a 1/2 cap for when I run a thumper or Thumpers which are 3/4 inch. I also have a homemade 3/4 cap for when I want to run just pot to condenser.I found a local place that sells discount hardware stuff. Been buying up ever pound of lead free sauder for 25$ each. They sell 3/4 90s for 70 cents. And 3/4 couples for 30 cents. Wow that’s nuts. I added a pressure relief valve to the pot and both condensers for safty.
Where I live where I live it legal to own a still and distill water or Oils.

Looking good, equal parts ingenuity and scrounging ability. we don’t see many submarines and almost none with copper end plates instead of wood. You already know it, but the white bucket just ain’t going to getter done. A 10-15ish gallon plastic barrel and use a bulkhead fitting for a leak free worm exit.A water proof electrical conduit fitting, with an elbow and some silicone and/or o-rings.

Nice set up! I’d have to call that a “tank” pot instead of a submarine though. Looks like some of those first tanks from WW1. I’m sure it’ll give you a shot or two.

Truth.Not a still I would build ( not a fan of coils ) but she looks ready for battle!! And I don’t doubt would make a good drop. thanks for posting- there are never enough pictures of how we all do what we do.
