Labs use a glass condenser tube consisting of a flow through chamber for the vapors and a water jacket to run cold water through. I bought one new like this http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/8255/images/38/106417-1.jpg for $15 a couple of years back, so shopping is a to

I have a stove top distiller. You will find that the steam will quickly heat up your condenser collector and become a whole room steamer. Keeping the collector cool is a challenge. The device I have uses another pot filled with cold water as the collector. By the time you have distilled a

wow Mike, that is a LOT of distilled water. wondering why you use so much. Faith G. I use it for drinking and most cooking, as well as making CS. I'm sure it's not perfect, but it's better, in my opinion, than our tap water with its generous quantities of chlorine and flouride. Mike D.

wow Mike, that is a LOT of distilled water. wondering why you use so much. Faith G. I'd recently thought about building some kind of stove-top distiller, since natural gas is still relatively cheap and I could keep it running on the stove most days. We're spending a buck a gallon for

Hi Chuck, Fill the inverted top with ice cubes to chill the ondeser. If I really wanted to, a very small DC cooling fan running off a wall wart would do that job very nicely. It'd take less attention (and energy) than using ice cubes, too. GRIN Be well, Mike D. [Mike Devour, Citizen,
