Garry more info on the pot please. How big, what is the pot's material and what is the sealing material, how thick is the lid? I would plug the side of the pot and put the fitting in the lid. You would get more capacity. Love the pens.

It's quite a big one, lol TBH don't know what the seal is made from the pot is steel. 15" tall 14" across the top and the acrylic top is an inch thick.
TBH the way the valves are set in the pot they don't make any change to what you can get in.
I'll take a few more pics later and try and show some scale.

I will definitely be ordering some of those kits Garry, not really took much notice of what Axminster sell to be honest .. They certainly have upped their stock of good quality kits .. :thumbs:

They have improved a lot over recent months.

No pics of workshop apart from one took when I got the band saw.
I know it's not set for the log, lol.
