During a recent spirit run, I was multi-tasking: Cleaning up odds & ends while running the pot. I was literally 10 feet away and didn’t notice that my parrot had leaned away from the product stream. About 4 ounces of high proof leaked in close proximity to the open propane flame. I’m confident that my extended Liebig condenser & parrot design — down & away from the burner helped to prevent a fire. That & the fact that I run in a well ventilated, open sided, covered shelter outdoors. Factor in safety when you do your builds, and practice the art responsibly please.
Glad all is well 8Ball! Stay safe out there!
Cheers,
