Advice on cleaning pans after 1st test boil with water

[Ridge777]

Just did my first test boil with water on my new 2x6 Lapierre raised flue and need advice on how to clean the pans. Ran it about a hour after it warmed up and I flushed them with clean water after they cooled. What is the best way to clean before 1st boil with sap? All I can say is this thing is going to make my life alot eaisier then what I used the last 2 seasons!!! Hoping for warmer weather by end of the week and away we go!!! Thanks for the advice.

I would say your ready to go. You did the clean out boil. Do a good rinse and your ready to go.

Nice size rig,,,,gotta be exciting to use it for the first time. Good luck !!

Just rinse inside and drain. Then brush the flues underneath, to get best heat transfer.

I would say your ready also. A good boil with water and a rinse should be good.
That new rig will be a nice improvement for 2014! Hope we get some weather.
