We have our new evaporator installed and we will be doing a test fire on Nov. 7. If anyone wants to come down to Somerset,PA to watch me try an burn a pan with just water, you are invited. We'll start at noon, go till 3 or 4 maybe. My dealer said he'll provide lunch. Just let me know if you want directions.

Have fun! Rejean, Jean-Francois and Steve from Lapierre were at our sugar camp on Saturday to test fire our 3.5x14. There were about 30 other Ontario producers there who have either bought one or who are interested. Make sure to pick Rejean's brain. He's forgotten more than I'll ever know! Overall we were impressed - I'll provide details in another post.

Thanks for the invitation Walnutdale. Another one should be firing up soon in NW PA. Dave Y purchased one. Closer to home. Good luck with your new rig!

Ennis,

Does all the air to the fire stay running at full blast when it gets adjusted correctly even when you are firing or is it reduced at firing??

You turn the primary air blower off when you fire but the secondary air stays on the whole time. Once you close the door you crank the primary air back up.
