I have a glorified barrel stove, is it actually a piece of 24" pipe. We have been boiling in a flat pan for 2 years and wanted to try and step up the efficiency of the current set up before a build a proper 2x4 arch next year. My flue pan is built wider than my current evaporator because it is only 15" wide so my 2x4 will really only be about 20 wide. Ill scrap the baby finishing pan and add a 22" long finishing pan to get to 4 ft in length. Anyways I just got done building these.

There is also a warming pot that straddles the chimney, I pump from my holding tank into this and then goes down through a copper coil and into the flue pan

Does this site not allow you to add photo links instead of the jank upload that is next to impossible on a phone

So it wont let me upload more than one photo at a time? Why wont the links work how are you supposed to do a nice step by step with photos in the text?

Having the pan wider than the heat source will cause you to lose much of the gain you get from having the flues. Anything more than 1/4-1/2" maximum overlap for support cools the sap in that area.
