Tucker - there is a guy in Webster over by the dam (they call him Buddha) that has a bubbler in his front pan only. He says the main reason he uses it is to keep the build up of sugar sand and niter off the pan bottoms and side. Not sure about you, but the stuff that really sticks on the pan that is almost impossible to scrub off is usually only in my syrup pan. The flue pan seems to clean up easier.
