Sugar Shack and metal roof

[archangel_cpj]

Im pretty certain that if you had 1/4 x 1/4 or even 1/8 x 1/8 hardware cloth on the pipe the amount and size of the cinders would be well below what would cause a issue remember modern shingles have a pretty good fire retardent built in and a few cinders ought not be a huge issue especially if you screen and have the pipe high enough.

when i built my sugar house i put my evap right undr the cupalo but i made my ceiling low i went with a 5/12 pitch write or wrong you tell me? so anyways from the top of my pans to the peak is only about 7 feet. i had a 3x12 so i made my cupalo 8 ft long and 2 ft wide got some drips but only when the air seemed heavy outside or a swirling wind and thats all i used was strapping and tin. my sugar house faces n-s and the wind blows from the west 90% of the time.they also make box fans that are water proof at wally world for 10 or 20 buckshang them in your cupalo at an angle if you need to if get drips works good for my buddy!
