First time filling my evaporator
OK, I bought a used 30x10' raised flue evaporator. Now what?? How do I fill the evaporator initially? Do I just fill both pans and fire it up? I'm pretty sure I'll need some sort of step-by-step procedure. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I know it will be a waste of wood, but run it with water for a good few hours. That will help you get a feel for how it runs. Keep an o-**** bucket handy.
But yes, at the beginning of the season once you have enough sap to make it worth your while, just fill her up to a level your comfortable running it, and have at it.
