Unfortunately all my older images got detached from their threads, due to parting company with my internet host of the time. However, some of the HLT pictures are now on flickr here.haggis51 wrote:Found this thread, if that's what it's called, but unable to see any images. Help please.
This HLT was used up until relatively recently and was always pretty successful IMO. If lucky enough to get a cylinder at a good price then it can be a bargain for a heavily insulated metal tank. Stainless pots have become much more available and affordable than they were back then, and are arguably nicer, but even now would be much more expensive - especially were you to insulate them to a similar standard.
The only down-side of copper (in this role) was that mine was stored in a damp garage so needed a haze of verdigris wiping off with a kitchen towel before each use. But I much preferred it over using HDPE, particularly as the element was set to switch on unattended (early in the morning), by timer.
