2x6 or 2x8 sunrise

[Ptim]

Going to purchase a new sunrise raised flue pan for next year. We are going to tap 250 on 3/16. Trying to decide between the 2x6 or the 2x8 with a hood no preheater. Could tap more trees than that in the future. Any suggestions. Sounds like the 2x6 will boil 37gph 2x8 47gph will add blower in future.

This is an easy one. Go with the 2x8, or maybe a 30x8 if you can swing it. You'll be glad later.

Yup I agree 2x6 is a great rig for under 200 taps unless you are incorporating an ro
