Distillation Heat Source Options

• Distilling over a wood fire makes temperature control difficult, it's dangerous, and makes a mess of your still.
• Distilling over a propane burner offers better temperature control, but it's the most expensive heating source for stills (due to the high cost of propane).
• Electric hot plates are very convenient, but are expensive and a special adapter is required to use them with most milk can distillers.
• An electric heating element combines the best qualities of all of the options. They're high output, they're affordable, and they're much safer than an open flame.
