Electric Still PID Controller (220V, 5500 Watt)
Trade the propane tank for steady, clean electric heat. This 220 volt, 5500 watt PID controller runs a ceramic-coated heating element and can cut your fuel cost dramatically compared to firing with gas.
A temperature probe keeps an eye on the still and shows you a clear readout, so you just set your target and let the controller hold it there. The element unplugs from the back for easy storage, and we offer smaller units for 6 gallon stills too.

Good to know
An electric still PID controller takes the guesswork out of heat and turns it into a number you choose. This 220 volt, 5500 watt unit runs a ceramic-coated heating element and reads your still through a temperature probe, so you set a target and the controller holds it there.
Is a PID controller better than propane for an electric still?
For many home distillers, yes. A PID controller keeps adjusting power to stay on your setpoint. That's the kind of steady control you want when you're watching vapor temperature and planning your cuts. It also does away with the propane tank and can cut your fuel cost dramatically compared to firing with gas. You run the experiment, and the controller keeps the conditions steady.
- 220V, 5500 watt element: strong electric heat for your pot.
- Temperature probe with readout: a clear display of what's happening in the still.
- Ceramic-coated, removable element: it unplugs from the back for easy storage.
- Lower fuel cost: no tanks to refill and no open flame.
This unit needs a 220 volt supply, so check your power before ordering. Running a 6 gallon still? We also make smaller units for that size, so get in touch and we'll point you to the right one. Electric heat works for every legal use of a still, from distilled water and essential oils to fuel alcohol and spirit production with TTB permits. U.S. shipping is free.
