your link to your email wont work. my email is backridgesugarhouse@gmail.com thanks again........ I did do a little research on them and i found alot of it on the trader, but i was not aware that they where soldered and not tigged. maybe they would build the pan and i can tig it. but for the price i think it would be worth them building it for me rather than try to build a bender and then build my own. josh

keep in mind that it is different designs usualy for welded pans vs soldered pans, not as easy as just welding instead of using solder on the same pieces

Here's a link to my thread. There should be some evaporator pictures near the end of the thread.

Markct is right. I asked Atlee if he could make pans that I could have welded. He did not want to do it. The joints are different and you may not be able to get a welder to some areas. I'm very happy with the quality verses value of this rig. I originally wanted to build some of it. I couldn't do it for the price he is selling them for.

Some pictures of older A&A front pan on our 3 x 10 King in our pictures section of our web page. Atlee was not sure if he built the rear pan. I think he did. Mine may be 20 years old? They were old and needed work when I bought them. I have made 1500 gallons of syrup on them. I have seem some of his work recently and would not be afraid to get a set of his pans. Good solid construction, at a reasonable price for soldered stainless pans.

Chris

Anyone have the info on where A&A Metal is located, point of contact information. I too am looking to get a new back pan for my 2x6 with either a raised or drop flue.. I'm here in central NY but travel through PA often. Thanks!
