    Don't know much about glass, need help!

    You are welcome. Happy to share what I know. Still keeping busy as usual here. Glad to hear the recipient of the Sindora burl HI has been enjoying it. Wish I had the new heater cover design before I made your HI's. Keep up all the good work. Lots of diversity.

    The HI

    @Andreaerdna - Glad to hear it arrived safely and you are enjoying the double screen method. The roast is so even without stirring and the screens stay so clean. It is possible to use a silicone sleeve and a 14mm GonG tube as a guide tube with the stainless steel tubes so they will work with the...

    I believe the word for which you are looking is "Vigreux". They are used in condensers to increase the surface area.

    @Vapinghole - Good to see you. Still creating more styles of HI's and roasting tubes. Glad to hear you are still enjoying your HIsaber. @Shit Snacks - There must still be emails not getting through. I have not seen any from you for quite a while. I recommend that anyone interested in a Heat...

    Any of the combinations using the female to female adapter will allow the Slide-a-Bowl tube to work with your Cloud Evo.

    The HI

    It is at the point where it can be either a standard or a mini with either a glass or stainless heater cover. I recommend a standard w/ matching bottom cap and stainless steel heater cover. I will be happy to commission you another HI also. A bamboo HI w/ glass heater cover might be a nice...

    The HI

    I have been experiencing some emails not reaching me for some reason. Not sure what is going on there. Almost finished with your HI and the batch on which I am working. Will try sending you another email. It will generally still take a while to finish a HI after I send the notification email...

    A variable voltage controller would work well directly from your solar setup. The Voltage Keeper makes some very fine units with great control and precision. I also make a micro sized unit that works the same way. They don't care if the input voltage varies a bit. The output voltage is constant...

    The HI

    @vorrange - Glad to hear your HI is working well again for you. They do need some love from time to time. The normal HI is 4" tall including the removable bottom cap. The mini HI is 3.25" tall. I have made some glass heater cover mini HI's that are only 3" tall. The regular and mini both...

    The HI

    There are a couple of things you can try. The power socket threads can become clogged with wood sap/sugar. There is a better chance of removing the power socket while it is hot. Try removing it right after unplugging. As moisture leaves the wood from heating, it will shrink in all dimensions...

    The HI

    @little maggie - The granite bottom is made from solid surface counter top material. It is basically colored acrylic. The bottom cap can be made from almost any material I can turn on the lathe since it sees no heat at all. @Slow Draw McGraw - Don't worry. I won't forget you. @Kenzie - Thanks...

    Life Saber (LSV) by Elev8 Vehicles

    Thanks. If it was too much lower in the fins, there wouldn't be much of the cooler bottom part to grab. The LSV sets very solidly in the stand. A tilted orientation would certainly make it easier to use as a hand-free device. The base would need to be larger to keep from tipping over.

    Thanks for the kind words @Snappo. I take it you have tried it. Always trying find improved ways to roast. @Scrimshaw - Looking forward to making you a HI. I recently discovered a new way to make glass heater cover HI's using bamboo pole. The glass heater cover is held at the bottom using a...

    Life Saber (LSV) by Elev8 Vehicles

    Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you like how it works. I was recently asked to see if I could make a less expensive version of the LSV stand. The lathe work takes considerable time since the piece of wood must be so large to start. I figured out a way to make the stands without the use of a...
