    Default Anyone have a Mason 2x6

    Hi all hope everyone had a great season. I am thinking of buying a new Raised flue 2x6 Bill Mason evaporator and wondering if anyone has one and if they can give me some info on the how they like or dislike it, GPH and how it boils? Any detailed pictures would be great also thanks.

    I have a raised flue, everything works fine. Only thing is it was not reversible. But i drain my syrup pan every night and soak with permeate

    A neighbor has one. It is decent for the price but is still a low-end evaporator. The pans are built out of heavy metal so the evaporation rate will always be behind the professionally built ones. It might make a decent starter rig though. If you don't like all night boils you might want to consider a rig from Smoky Lake or one of the major manufacturers.
