It's too bad that you don't live closer to NH. I would gladly show you mine.

Was wondering if a bubbler system would be of any help on a flat pan
I have one in my front pan which is a flat pan with dividers and it does help. It keeps the foam knocked down and it keeps the bottom of the pan cleaner.
Thanks Russ think I will try and make one out of half inch copper pipe would a bathroom exhaust fan make it work or do I need something with more power. I find when I get the niter on the bottom of the pan it will boil over easier, if its clean it doesn't do it near as bad, and you don't have to cut back on the fire. Just trying to make life easier is all lol
You're going to need a high pressure blower, a bathroom exhaust fan won't do it. I'm using a small shop vac but any vacuum cleaner with an exhaust port will work.
Thanks for your help now I just have to wait for next yr to see how it works:lol:
