lmao another video. Still salty about them 50 dollar grams.
Recovering ethanol with a rice cooker…directly onto the next batch of biomass.
Surely that would scale 
edit: this was circa 2014. I found a couple of other pictures that show an insulated ~5l vessel in a rice cooker, plumbed to a MT69 in a bucket of water with a hose running.
yes. that is inner tube

A little late to the party here but this is exactly what this forum needs more of. Perfectly designed, ever so slightly hacky systems on the cheap. Beaucoup capacity on a budget

Rice Cooker Tek FTW!!!
Just last week…
Needed to remove some ethanol. No rotovap at the moment, nor could I find a rice cooker.
Didn’t want to go above 35C on the evap anyway.
Dug around in the scrap pile and came up with the “retrovap”.
Blowing ethanol to atmosphere at 30C using a TRS-21… using a cold trap as the boiler.
Added the gauges because: everything is Just Better with instrumentation 
The temptation to build a small FFE was hard to resist, but then my request for a rotovap would have been ignored…
