Smoky Lake also does custom flat pans. Just received 2x5 flat pans from his shop - http://www.smokylakemaple.com/
Thor also makes any custom pan you want and at a super price. I just had them weld a 3x3 syrup and a 3x5 flue pan both to my specs. They did a great job and less than 30% of what Leader wanted.
Dave Klish, I recently bought a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
Bill Mason has quoted me the best price so far.. It is the shipping that kills me..
If you want to save on shipping the closest to you would be Sunrise Metal Shop.

I ordered a pan yesterday from a local sheet metal shop. 338 out the door.
Thanks for all the replies. Now to build a new 275 gallon barrel arch.. My son suggested today that we run two setups to increase production. I said sure why not..
If you still can, consider changing the height of the sides, with a good boil you will lose some over the sides as the sap jumps up. I had my new syrup pan (flat bottom) made with 15" sides. My old Leader syrup pan had 12" and a hard boil would lose just a little at times, none detected at others. The sides on my flue pan are 24".

I have been using a pan with six inch sides for 8 years. I do not think I have ever had any boil over?
