Well with alot of help, we got the new rig in the sugarhouse. Wow that thing is hugh. Every thing came on the truck except for the R.O. and the 2, 3200 gallon tanks. Ran out of room on the truck. It all went pretty good today. Nobody got hurt and most of all, no scratches on my new baby.Mike you will have to come over sometime this week.
The wife didn't have to much problems when the evap showed up, it has been everything else that I had to get to go along with it.
I think the one thing that took the cake was when I got the filterpress. At that point she thought I was done for the year. I just couldn't pass up on that deal!:D
But I know she will get over it.
You were right Mike...she was not into the shiny stainless that she would have to polish. Aparently she would be more excited if our bank account went up and not down because of the shiny stainless. Her tone will change after she gets that big maple check.
Need pictures of these new rigs and equipment so we can drool:)

Yes!!!! I second that motion!!
Test fired our new evaporator today. Brad and Jim came from Leader to fine tune things like the blowers,stack draw and measure firebox temperature. Half an hour after startup 134 GPH half an hour later 171 GPH. Boils evenly over all the pans. The craftsmanship is really good, a major step up since the last time I bought pans from Leader. I'm sure other manufacturers are good too. Virtually no smoke. one 15 minute interval worked out to 216 GPH. Optimum efficiency seems to be firing every 10-15 minutes and around 160GPH. You really can run it really fast or slow it down a bit.
Thanks to everyone who pays taxes for the USDA support for this project. I wouldn't have made this move without it.
So that there is one of those fancy Vortex thingy's right?
Very nice!:cool:
