Hello All.
I have a Vermont Special 2 x 4 Evaporator with drop flues in the back half. I picked it up a few years ago and it has been in storage since. I am thinking of using it this year except I do not have the "plugs" (not sure exactly what they are called) that you would use to close off the holes between the syrup pan and the flue pan and the divider in the syrup pan. Does anybody know where I could get them? Or am I better off going to someone who can build them for me?
Thanks!:)

I did get one from from Leader, but it was too small, so I checked with local producers and found one that worked. (and Free!)

There are several variations in plug sets for that pan style based on its' age. Your best bet is a Leader Dealer. I bought my pan used with the plug between the syrup pan an the flue pan included. The syrup pan plug was the same as a King style Flue pan/syrup pan plug for a larger evaporator.
