Just don't do it inside folks…any kind of retort in an enclosed space is asking for big problems.

I don't recall anything in the video about the use of mercury or the potato being used for the removal of mercury. You are correct that potato have been used for retort, but I think this was a video for melting gold into an ingot.

Probable still good advise to do this outdoors.

I've used a potato before as a retort before I got a proper retort. Worked okay but still lose a bit of mercury and damn messy reclaiming the mercury.

Made the potato taste funny too :biggrin:
