"I owned a Thai Power ll back in the 70's. It got trashed by my Dad when I was in Texas for work. I missed it very much. Made some great oil from some Acapulco Gold that was just like honey oil. I bought one of the Super Flower Towers and was surprised at how close they are. I had to make some adjustments. Paint the outside of the stainless pot and added more charcoal in the top but other than that it works just the same. One thing I always wondered about was why no ice in the top? I found when using ice in the top I drop heat times substantially. Great device and I just used it today to make some dab."
