    Default Evaperation rate 24x72

    Just wondering what kind of evaperation rate you can get out of a Lapierre junior 24x72 5 in raised flu?
    Anyone that has one would you care to share your experience?likes dislikes?

    Looking at this unit for next season....so any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.

    Looking to tap 250 to 300

    Thanks

    A standard 2x6 with 7" flues will typically get 30-40gph. I'm not familiar with the Lapierre but with 5" flues I'm guessing 22-26 gph? Those figures would be without a preheater, forced air, etc.
