they show the right way when opened.

It looks Interesting

how long does it take to heat up.
is it jacketed or how is it setup?

i put 50 litres in it today and it was almost exactly an hour from lighting to boiling....

not jacketed, just a firebox and chimney inside the boiler...

total capacity about 90 litres i think...

morning folks, time to test the latest iteration of the wood fired stripper.

Since i ran it last ive added another condenser since it overpowers one and they dont work very well on an angle. The idea now is that the first sloped one will collapse the gas to a liquid (still hot) and then the 2nd (vertical) one will cool the liquid.

Also learned that im done with angel yeast on grain, its just too much of a pain in the ass...
