Wonderful info, as always, Sometimes simple is best, No need for distractions on fancy backgrounds... Awaiting with anticipation on Your future endeavors....
When I planned what still and brew kettle I wanted, with what I want to be able to make with it, I went for a stainless steel one, with a thick base to allow for flame heating either by wood or gas as well as electric. I have also got extra gaskets as it's a tri-clove setup. I try to always cover as many possibilities as I can, including spares or extras 'just in case'. Using a dough paste for seals / gaskets was something considered as well. Not to forget learning about malting, and yeast propagation. High proof alcohol has a great many uses, not just drinking, so this led into 'hobo stoves' where foreshots and heads can be utilised. As a side note, have you tried stave aging a distillation using the junipers aromatic heartwood, appropriately aged? I have no idea if it is safe or not, or even what the result would be.
You're videos are very important to our community and there ain't a damn thing wrong with what you do. Please keep it up! Also I'm super excited to see what's coming up in the future with your endeavors.
I would love to know more about distilling malted acorns, AKA Acorn Brandy or Acorn Whiskey. I have teased about it in the past with the hope you would speak on it or at least give us something about fermenting nuts and seeds.
In a off grid situation couldn’t you bury a worm in the ground for condenser? Of course the out spout would be at a lower elevation or in a hole. With the earth temperature I would think it would work but not sure for how long.
The knowledge and information you share here stands on its own with out any fancy video production. And as always thank you for sharing.

You have the most dedicated audience of anyone on RUclips. What you share is priceless. The format is perfect. 🧡
As an offgrid distiller, I'd be screwed if i lost access to propane. I need to learn to operate over wood fire.
