what is a hybird pan?

[TimJ]

Just to elaborate on what Riley said - the "normal" evaporators have 2 pans - a flue pan and a syrup pan. They are typically connected externally by some fittings. A hybrid pan is all one unit.

MORE ELABORATION

For the larger pans this two pan setup gives the following benefits:
- reduces weight and size for handling. The flue pans are quite heavy.
- if you scorch/damage or otherwise need to replace a pan you only have to replace one part.

For small sizes - specifically the hybrid sizes I have seen available neither of these is a big issue and the combo units offer a nice option.
