    Got a little Sluice cheap.

    Plenty of volume there. Adjust the volume/slope combination until you can see particles 'dancing' in the riffles. As long as it clears between loads all is good.

    Engel vs Waco

    See if you can find power consumption figures, it becomes important if you run off battery for a couple of days or use solar support. Engel uses way less than my chinese clone, especially as a freezer. Run times seem about the same but current draw for the clone is about 70% more. The clone uses...
