I don't see a flue pan listed on the website?
Where did you order it from?
Finshed the haying :D :D . Started cutting wood, should hopefully have that done by Sept, then it's on to line repairs. Would like to get a working vacuum up in time for a test run before...
Algier was building evaporators for Waterloo/Small. Algier used to be Small Bros until they sold out to Waterloo and reopened under Algier. 8O

Tap hole dry out :?: Hum lets see, personal oppinion, vacuum dries them out faster than any other methoed used :?: Don't understand it, but when I use vacuum, the holes seem to dry out 2x faster...
I use a product called "Glisten" sold by IBA. I have used it full strenght in the front pan, left it for days and had no problems, (lucky :?: 8O 8O ). It works great, and I just rinse out the pan...
If you have a section of black PVC pipe that gets alot of sunlight, you could always paint it white, gee, problem solved, and you still pocket the change. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just a thought on draining that, if any of you have a mechanical releaser, you'll get what I'm talking about. Anyway, my releaser has a rubber gasket that is backed by a piece of steel that acts as...

When you build your moisture trap don't forget to put a ball in there to shut off the vacuum, or it won't do you any good! :lol: :lol: :lol:.

Are you tapping yet? There're calling for 49-50 degrees here this weekend thru Mon anyway. We're not even close to being ready yet. Gonna run lines this weekend, and get evap ready to...

Use vaccum oil, you can get this at any TSC store, or from IBA. Also max RPM is 1750. Easy way to figure pump RPM is: motor RPM * motor pulley OD/pump pulley OD = pump RPM. The higher...

I don't doubt what the "experts" say, but I have seen this happen a few times. First time I was boiling with green wood, which caused the buildup of cresolte, even with lots of draft. But...

Most of the ones I see around here were made from a milktank agitor motor. The basic idea here is they run slow enough to make cream, and don't need a gearbox at all. The only hitch is they run on...
I was ok with 12" clearance around my stack, (all four sides), until I put on a steamhood, then I scrouched rafters like crazy. Ended up doubling that distance. I would go nothing less than 18"...
