Rob,
Nice looking tools!

The flue pan on my evaporator is 18X45. The flues measure 3/4" looking at it from the underside of the pan. They are 5" deep and there is 6 of them. They are spaced 1 1/2" apart. When the pan is sitting on the arch, the flues almost touch the firebrick at the rear of the pan below the stack. There is probably some calculation in there to ensure that this small area doesn't act like a damper...

A quick minute with the pencil shows that these flues add 2700sq" to an otherwise 810sq" flat pan.

Looks good. One comment though I can't tell from the pic How wide is the base of the hydrometer cup? It is nice to get wide bottom so they are more stable. Sucks when they tip over with the hydrometer in it
