Yup When I listed it I forgot they were 2x10 I think I could have got those things up to 50GPH with a better arch and oil gun. 6 ft of flues work nice.

Yes it has been in storage for the last 5 years at a welding shop in Wisc. I was in the process of revising my listing when a bid came in. Item No is 150327463301 You can see the differance in the heights that is because of the drop flues. Welder didnt think a picture was important of the flues.

Was that a "vermont" style setup with the 3 pans?
I've run across a couple of used setups like that, why didn't it catch on? Is it more complicated to by running that many pans or was it a production cost issue?

I dont know why they dont make them that way. I think the way the sap came out of the flue into a flat finish type pan and then into a drop flue it might have spent tp long in the flat to long. I was easy to run and was fun to operate. It is a simple rig to change flow.
I had a home built rig I made from a square industrial SS wash tank and the sides off a chipper truck body for the arch. 48x48" pan single batch type sat on the ground so the bottom of the arch was dirt.
Was looking for a old bldg to make the sap shack out of and got a call that a buddie found one complete only problem was that it was $600.00 had to be cleaned out because there was a complete 2x8 set of pans arch and all the storage tanks and 200 buckets with lids everything from the last time it was used all just sitting there out in the woods for the last god knows how long.
We were in High Cotton cooked 12 years on it shoved 4 cords a year into it.
