Actually, one can build a still into their old (the old ones are
bigger) oil-fired or coal-burning furnace with the result of much less
wasted energy. :-) Hey, perhaps I should patent this energy-efficient
(well, in the winter, anyway) method of making moonshine. Of course,
by using a generator, one could also power quite a few grow lamps (in
an underground room, of course) and computer controlled automated
potato launchers, as well as the high-power RFI generators. ;-)
