Distilling Water

Been reading about distilling salt and fresh water so I put together a simple set-up I saw on YouTube.

Bought a 1.2 quart tea pot which my wife was looking at anyway plus a few parts from Home Depot.  It took 2 hours to distil one cup of water.  If I would of had the heat all the way up I could of done more, but I did not want to burn the small pot.

So, I learned distilling is simple and I should use a pot that holds a half gallon or more to reach a usable production level.  A pot suitable for a camp fire would also make it more energy efficient.
