How many taps would I need for a 5 X14 evaporator? 5x7 drop flue rear pan and 5x7 front pan. Just curious of what I would be looking at. Also any idea what the boiling off rate would be.

would think around 1500-2000 taps. Ask Parker on here- Mighty Marvin is a 5 x 14 with pre-heater and I think he does close to 300 gph...

My buddy gets about 380/hr with his 5x14 intenso fire.

with open pans it should boil 220 gph. It should handle close to 1500 gravity taps with typical 5-6 hour boil. It will sure eat up the wood.
