Bought a new continuous 2x4 from smoky lake for this year. Looking for ideas on gaining more gph with another pan. Does anyone make small drop or raised flue pans 2x2 or 2x3. Anything bigger then that and I would have to rethink and sell and buy all new again.

Is that the 2x4 Hybrid?
It's more than enough for 26 taps.
I still have tuning to do on mine, but I have 40+ taps, spread over three counties.
That pan will boil!!!!
My problem on the test fire was too much heat.
Arch I made is 26wx36hx69long.
Firebox is about 24 deep.
It goes to the flues.
Running 12' of 10" stack.
insulated with 1" blanket and board.

Can't get another arch done for that pan this year.
Buddies are more than willing to make more though.

I do have a flat pan not using right now.

No its not the hybrid but want to make it similar. I got in contact with Jim Schumacher and I believe I'm going to be purchasing a 2x2 or 2.5 from him. Also comes with float box and fittings. Trying to get all my pans in a row so I can fab my arch thru out the off-season. I was on a block arch this year and found it very inefficient.
