I was helping Grandpa go thru his grand dad's things and found an old still.  How can we make it functional?

There may be several options for making an old still functional. Depending on the size and design of the still, it may need to be modified in order to make it functional. This could involve adding components such as a thermometer or valves to regulate the flow of liquids, as well as insulating the vessel to increase the efficiency of the distillation process. Additionally, if the still uses an open flame it should be checked for safety and replaced if necessary.  Ultimately, the best way to determine how to make the still functional is to research the design and assess any necessary modifications or upgrades.
