It's a beckett burner equivalent to the 301 Carlin. Most definitely have soot build up. Don't believe it's fuel filter. 14' stack heighth. I need to find a burner guy.

I've got a oil fired arch fired from the front. raised Flue pan boils hard at the front but barely boils past that. Any ideas to why? Not sure of stack temp and fire blanket is flush with arch rails.
This year I put together a manifold with 6" schedule 80 pvc. Drilled and tapped. Used copper so that I could angle the way I needed to for the 5 3/4" mainlines coming to the manifold. Pvc valves on...
I use 3/4" pvc unions necked down to 1/2" on pump and 3/4" mnpt to barb for mail line side.
I found that the Carlin was a lil difficult to find. Ended up going with the beckett 500/800. Same output as the Carlin 301. Still had to have a hvac guy order it for me. And even at that he wanted...
Esetter, Temps still aren't cold enough at night for my liking but next weeks outlook has me ready to jump the gun. It looks like it's going to freeze up for Christmas and then warm again. Ohio has...
I've been very tempted to start tapping here west of Troy, Ohio as well. But still have to much to do. Should get caught up with the next few long weekends. Good luck!
Amasonry, were the strip lights the peel and stick type? They have an adhesive on the back side or were they attached in a different manner?
I know cdl makes a light kit to put inside of a hood but they want both arms and legs for it. Anyone else put their own lights under your hood?
Which hypro pump are you guys talking about? I'm intrigued.
Come on fellas. Throw me a bone here. Just got my Beckett burner and anxious to get testing!
I'd like to see pics of how your oil fired rigs are insulated. I'm currently converting mine over to oil. Pics of Target wall and ramp, space between oil gun and pans. Anything that would help...
Need more info. What size do you plan on making? Most arches don't taper but have what they call a ramp. The ramp is designed to force the heat and flame closer to your pan as it moves towards the...
I'd rather have that happen. After finishing a long boil began trek uphill from sugar shack to the house. Tripped on on low cut stump and dumped 4 gallons of syrup and in the fall proceeded to roll...
I've never understood this inverted sugar idea or process. Is there an easy explanation?
Am I able to use dark syrup to make candy with? Have about 5 or so gallons of really dark syrup. Wondering if that can be made into other products?
I hear ya buckeye. Having a sap flood here too. Let things yesterday and lastnight. Ro will be busy this afternoon. Made 6 gal Wed night.
Scorched my pan a couple of years ago. You need to get rid of black scorch or your syrup will always have burnt taste in syrup. I put my pan on sawhorses and let soak overnight with vinegar and...
Collect 260 gal of raw amd will concentrate that down. Worried about freezing in my head tank tonight while boiling. Will have to get creative. Tank sits outside but I can boil off about 60gal an...
I would look at suet build up on the bottom of the pans. If I want to keep up on efficiency I need to run the flu brush between flu before start up.
Friday night was the first boil. Ro to 4% and boiled down 125 gal and made about 1.5 gal. Today boiled down 150ish of 4% and and made about 7 gal. Shurflo pumps are keeping me busy working leaks and...
Keep boiling. It's still not there.
Thanks Dave,
Cut In valves to each main so that I could divert all vacuum to check for the leaks. Let's just say there are many. Got 4 or 5 fixed and the sap ladders started to perform. Have a few...
I'm using a shurflo 4008. 3/4 mainline straight to the shurflo. I'm getting a lot of slugging and turbulence just before the pump. Is this normal or do I have a leak somewhere? I do not have any...
Welcome Cuse,
I'm north of you west of Troy. I work for Norfolk southern railroad and spend a lot of time in middletown. To answer a few of your questions. I run and try to get most of everything...
