I currently have a 2x3 pan with two dividers but I built my arch to handle a 4' pan. I would like to build a 12" pan to fill up the arch. Would it alright to use this after the divided pan for drawing off the syrup? I would connect the two with a pipe.
Rather than pay a lot to a welding shop, I was hoping to try my hand at soldering. If I solder the 4 corners, would a lap seam be easier to solder? I've welded lots of mild steel and soldering copper pipe is a breeze. With the right flux and solder, is it difficult to solder stainless?
