I just received a new Sunrise Metal Shop 2x6 raised-flue evaporator (just in time for the season!) and decided to post a video review so others could see what they are like, ask questions or share their own experiences with Sunrise products.

Pretty fancy unit, what did it cost with all those upgrades?
The upgrades were: reflective stainless for the stack and pans (standard is dull finish - like on the arch sides), blower and pre-bricked. The air-tight doors, site glass and fittings are all standard for this unit. I just read the previous thread and someone said we shouldn't post pricing on the forum (not sure why?), but if you call the number and ask "Lee" what a unit like the one sent to me (Jamie Jones) costs, he'll tell you real quick...
I seen one in person at a new dealer in NW PA. They look like a nice unit. It looks like the arch is used for dropped and raise flue. It was hard to tell, but was there a ramp in the back half of the arch? It would push all the flames up into the raised flue. The rear clean out is nice.
Looks like an awesome unit. Bet ya can't wait to fire it up and make some syrup. Would be interested to know how it performs for you. (GPH) Can't wait to get my new W.F. Mason 2x4 with raised flue.
Great looking unit. Were you given an estimate on GPH? A quick calc on surface area tells me around 60 or so.
Gary R. - There is a ramp that keeps going up from the firebox, but then it drops back down and stays flat to the clean-out door in the back. Maybe the same arch could be used with drop flues. I wonder if the floor under the pans should be raised up higher for raised-flue pans? We'll see how it performs.
sutphenj - I was given GPH estimates with various configs (standard/piggyback/preheater/blower/16" flues) and remember my jaw dropping but I need to go back and confirm numbers and I will post them.
I'll also ask them if they mind me posting the price. If they don't mind, then I expect the site managers will be OK with me doing that.
where is sunrise metal shop located?
