2 New Home Built Evaporators - Improvements?
My Father-In-Law and I just completed a pair of barrel evaporators. Slightly different styles. It was great fun building them! We both did propane turkey fryer setups last year and we wanted to a nicer wood fired evaporators.
We both fired them today to burn off all the nasties and to see how well we could get a boil going. We were both pretty impressed (our preheaters worked especially well), but I think we can do better. We are looking suggestions what to do next. Firebrick, blowers, insulation, taller chimney, etc. What's going to give us the best bang for our buck.
I'd really like to add firebrick and a blower to mine, but I'm not sure how to configure it.
Here are some pics of the builds...(mine is the better one :) ....with the larger pan)
