I have decided to start from scratch for my next evaporator.
I have three pans 20" x 27" so I am going to make it 27" wide and 60" long.
On my last evaporator I put a 1/2" nipple between the two pans at the level I wanted the back pan to stay at and it worked quite well so I am going to do that again, between all three pans.
I have several 8" x 12" clay tile chimney liners and I am planning on cutting and fitting them in as fire brick.
If I do that do you think 1/8" plate will be heavy enough for the skin? I have acess to several large pieces for free.
I am planning on putting in a forced draft with angle Iron Grates.
I am going to put on an 8" flue with a copper coil pre heater, which I also did on the last evaporator and had good results.
I am looking for any Ideas or Suggestions, I have found this board extremely helpful and Appreciate your input.
Thanks
