It sounds so much easier too.
I really dont know if either gizmos would accomplish much. Hi Scotty, I have to agree. I think having copper packing should be enough to eliminate the problem of channeling (channeling=condensate drips from the cooling cross tubes in the ps2 down the outer edges of the column) and distribute the condensate pretty evenly thru out the column. Still when I get my system (if the financial gods can stop kicking me in the balls long enogh to scrape up the cash) I may give the conical thing a try. Thanks, Todd

"Ill bet that putting mesh in the conical would be good also.
The next idea will be the super PS3 with a column of 12 feet high. Special roof hole modification kit included. What say Rick???"

Something like that would tear thru a 10 gallon run in just a few hours. (** The illusive PS4 HC Rick?**:)) Todd

Speed costs but it is usually worth it. I think something like a "PS4 HC" with a parrot at the end of the product condenser in the $500 to $700 range would give both Hillbilly and Still Dragon a run for their money. Still it is nice to dream. Todd

I'm gonna go off topic and laugh about racing shops. I had an 83 susuku that had 10K in the engine--I had it built by a florida outfit. All go no show. I really dont want the bigger rig for distilling. I just like trying a mod here and there on my 3 inch colums.  Lotsa folks have bigger columns

Lotsa folks have bigger columns Hi Scotty, 69 chevelle that used to eat 5k motors about once every 4 weeks on the circle track, lucky we had a sponsor. Back on topic--Got to agree, the 3 inch is more than I'll ever need. Todd

About the centering ring. Does anyone use one (or two)? If so did you buy it or fab it up yer self? I was looking at some copper funnels on amazon that could be cut to fit nicely but I don't know if its wasting cash or helping the mash!

I found out that when you delete your pictures on photobucket it deletes them on the forum also...
