Every still needs heat, and how well you control that heat decides how well you can run your still. This single-burner propane stove is built to give 6 to 30 gallon copper distillers a steady, adjustable flame. It's a solid pick for a beginner setting up outdoors for the first time.
What's in the box
You get the burner and a high-quality hose assembly made for consistent gas flow. The propane tank is not included unless the listing says otherwise, so plan on supplying your own.
Built to take long runs
- Heavy-duty metal frame
- Cast iron burner head built for intensive use
- Even flame distribution for stable operation
- Suitable for long heating cycles
Heat protection that helps beginners
This burner has a top heat guard that helps protect against oil or liquid spills and keeps the flame away from the hose connection. A bottom heat shield protects nearby parts and surfaces from heat damage. These features give you some margin while you're still learning.
How hard is it?
It's simple to use. You bring the still up to temperature with a strong flame, then turn it down for a controlled run. Learning that adjustment is the real skill, and it's one of the most satisfying parts of distilling.
Your first steps
- Set up outdoors or in a well-ventilated area only.
- Check the hose connection before every use.
- Practice raising and lowering the flame during a water-only run.
Always follow proper propane safety, and follow federal, state, and local law when you run any still. Questions? Call 603-997-6786.
