This little pot is the neatest thing. It is three gal pot with condenser. I am very happy with the construction and the materials are top notch. I did make one myself but I would not recomend it. For the money this still is five star all the way..you will not go wrong. BUT JUST ONE THING..Get a small pump to recirc cool water. Other then that the small one comes with everything you need to start.Paul M.
