Likely some have, but it will depend on how many leaks are in the system. Technically it should work, but only if leaks don't render it useless. You will be best off if you have a recirculation line,...

While Dr Tim might tell me this is a poor practice, when I drill a tap hole, I break off a small stick from anything close by and clear the taphole, never blow in it to clear it out. I think doing...
That might be because you are crossing at a minor crossing. My evaporator and extra equipment was from Thor, but I was crossing west of Lake Champlain on the main north south route there, I forget...
For a small solar set up, to just run one 12V diaphragm pump you will be better off using a PWM controller. PWM is pulse width modulation, they are far lower cost and very adequet for that use. If...
I never learned if that amount was correct or not.
I guess I was lucky. Back at Labor day weekend in 2012 I drove up into Canada to pick up my new 3x8 evaporator. I had the arch, already, only bought the new pans, a hood stack, a draw off tank and...
I attended a presentation by Dr Tim where this idea was mentioned. He said it works well and is often used by the larger producers. Go for it! While big producers are not using a little diaphragm...
Yes, but my wife bought them from the dollar store for $1.25+ tax. Same thing
I never try to fill the hollow plates, it's not necessary, when the plates are full is when the pumping gets much harder or impossible and you need to open the press and clean it to start fresh....
I stumbled on a method that i think will help those using orlon filters, either flat or cone shaped to clean the filter completely. I discovered it when I used one of those replacable head mops....
Thanks for the heads up, I cleaned it out. I should request from Peter Gregg that as a moderator, I should get more space in my inbox, I do get lots of activity. However, I must admit, some of the...
It's about getting enough air to the fire.
One thing I noticed after I added high pressure AOF and AUF was that I no longer needed to criss cross the firewood. Apparently the abundance of high...
If a political comment persists, it will be removed, if tried again that poster will be removed, however, just one comment is not enough to bring the wrath of a moderator on you. If those comments...
You should get 25-30+ gph once you get the operation right. in fact 35 gph is possible.
On my 2x6 raised flue when I had added AOF/AUF (air under fire/air over fire) I hads stack temperatures with a temperature probe right in the stove pipe of 800-950 most of the time.
I suspect 2...
Steve, I'm with you, while I have made light syrup, by far most has been amber or dark. I consider that good, when I made golden, I packed it in my best glass and it didn't sell. Was it the syrup...
Read the specs on the sprinkler pump you're considering. Most 4x40's run at least 200 psi, many run at almost 300 psi. While a 4x40 membrane will perform at lower pressures, under 200 psi will...
I'm not familiar with that RO, but in general any RO gives greater permeate flow and lower volumn but higher sugar % for concentrate. With that in mind, it all depends on the pump and the pressure...
I suggest you look at the website for your states's maple producers association. On there they should have the names of all producers who are members of the association. Also, contact the director or...
The simplicity model is basic, the next models going up help you know when you should add wood and get the best burn. I had that mastered and didn't need help with it. My refueling scheduled worked...
I bought a Smoky Lake auto draw about 5-7 yrs ago, it was their simplicity model. I also ordered a second temperature probe so when I reversed the front pan flow I only had to remove one wire on the...
Wow, that sure sounds like you got shafted. I'm not sure what I would do. my only suggestion is if you do get another guard it as well as you possibly can.
It might be a good time to try a Murphy...
18 gph is far under what a 2x6 raised flue should get, regardless of the type of wood burned. First, what size do you split the wood? Then for fueling do you use a timer? Back when I had a wood...
Yes, insurance absolutely. I've only sold to one eatery, it was a waffle and pancake place. They wanted it in 1/2 gal jugs, and they pay on delivery. Because I'm delivering at no extra cost, they pay...
I'm not sure about alignment of the holes is that important, yes you want to be close but a little off has not shown to slow the press down. I have noticed that any misaligned hole fix themselves. On...
