Hi this is my first post on this site but I've been reading a lot and really helped me last year has my first time boiling using steamer pans...and see that I'm no different then others and yes...going bigger :)
I am now building a 2x6 arch and just got a used Waterloo 2x4 flat pan with 1 divider. I already have a 16"x24" flat pan that I was planning to use as syrup pan.
The 2x4 has little "external" boxes in the front where the inlet/outlet are. I'm wondering the best arrangement for the pans (3 options)
Option 1:
16x24 on the back of the arch with sap feeding into it one side and out the other then pipe to the front on the 2x4 (draw off on other side).
Option 2:
16x24 on the back of the arch but feeding sap front of 2x4, exit opposite side then pipe to small syrup pan on back
Option 3:
Put the 16x24 in front of 2x4 with space between to add elbows so I could feed sap to one side of 2x4 and out the other into the 16x24 in front of it.
