I know on my evaporator burning hemlock and or pine I lose 10 gallons an hour off the boil rate. just from having to open the door so much. loading every 3-4 minutes

you can probably do it yourself. I have installed a couple in my bush without any special tools. even fixed them a couple of times.
I notice most chews are at the tree. so I have been going in front of the tree with 3/16 instead of around, then tying it back within 8" or so. seems to help. it also helps two bobcats keep the...
if you look around you should be able to find some high temp silicone rated for 2300 degrees.
I sell $15lbs. I do not know how you are making your sugar but for me, it's a lot of work. no break for quantity. three or four half-gallon batches boiling at the same time. kitchen aid mixer and...
way too much work, I would just use a brick hammer.
i put a butterfly valve between the flue pan and the float box.
if you can weld, you can make a tubing tool for 40 dollars
here is the deal with bricks and fire. soft bricks handle heat better than hard bricks. hard bricks can explode. fire brick has vermiculite in them making them a better heat barrier. never heard of...
my first year making maple I boiled it in a stock pot on an open fire. lots of smokey flavors.
soft candy is the best but does not last long. I boil to 240-ish. just shy of real candy. the crystals i think are part of making the candy firm. the smoothest candy i ever made was with a run that...
did you try mes in southern NH? they are the best. I think 1-4x40 membrane was 225.00 last time I was there
can you make your stack higher? there will sparks, but less and further away. or make a screened cap. mine has 5/8 holes made from expanded copper
The stack must be at least 3' above the roof if coming out the ridge and 2' higher than anything within 10' of the roof. Flats you are spot on.
you might find one 20lb tank does not have enough pressure to run 6 burners and in the cold will probably freeze up. Mabey 3 tanks?
so for daily cleanup, I use the hot water from the preheater ( hood). I get 10 gallons there. some times when bottling I will need more that's where the 20 gallon pot comes in. I came across a gas...
what are you doing for hot water now? how about a pot and burner. I use the permeate that comes out of the preheater.
all good info, but they mist the most important thing lite syrup. late or dark syrup does not make good candy. might only make taffy. I only use the first two runs of the year for confections. it is...
try cdl in Lancaster NH . got mine there last week.
Leaders bolt on regulating system is some expensive for what you get.
what size is the box? might have one that fits some I made, some are older with lead solder. wound let one go for 50.00 total. if it works out.
whiskey flask maybe. depends on head pressure
make one. but put a vent in it. your stainless one will explode if it sees temps above 220 without a vent
I second that. gravity. I have my mother sew them for me. my canner is a little bigger, as I filter 10 gallons at a time. If it is hot enough goes right through. I use 1 Oregon filter on the bottom...
check to make sure the center holes in the membrane are 3/4 inch and not 1/2 inch. they change the standard somewhere in 2000-09. they were 1/2 inch in my waterloo 2001. just a thought.
