I agree with Stig on the stability; I think it will definitely topple over as the condenser and associated bits add a weight offset which the T500 boiler will not be able to counter once the liquid level drops. It would be better to use a 180 deg bend into your product condenser as it will bring the weight closer in to the centre of the boiler.
For your pot still set up, have a look at my small pot still set up here: https://www.aussiedistiller.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=10461 and here: http://aussiedistiller.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9212. I chose a "pelican" style set up deliberately to deal with the offset issue and it is very stable especially I'm now using a slightly longer piece of TC pipe in the first section.
Cheers,
Prof. Green.

I got them at 5 Star - right here. Ignore the fact that the site reports them as out of stock and give Sue a call tomorrow as the site doesn't always reflect the true nature of reality.
Don't forget you'll need the T500 adapter too. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Thanks Prof Green

My T500 boiler doesn’t have the big “foot” that yours has, I believe my boiler would be less stable than yours .
Looks like they changed the base later in the run as mine was a very early version.
