new evaporator
I purchased a brand new sunrise metals 2x6 drop flue from the maple guys. I am thrilled to be moving up from the half pint. Now I have to sell the little guy and stuff the big guy into my 12x8 shack. I'm expecting it to be a bit on the steamy side in there this spring. It was steamy doing 6to8gph this units advertised at 37 Chris said I should be over 40 with a blower. Mirror finish on the pans and stainless sides on the arch. Couldn't be any happier.
awesome! you'll love the 2x6.
2012: Probably 750 gravity taps and 50 buckets.
600 gal stainless milk tank.
2 - 100 gallon stock tanks

50 buckets
3' x 10' Waterloo Raised Flue wood fired evaporator w/ open pans.
12" x 20" Filter Canner

2015 2x3 WF Mason Evaporator 10x12 Sugar Shack 110 taps
2016 I need to figure out how to get a a small RO
Congratulations, great move.
To manage the steam, just make a hood and send it outside. If you do make one, be sure to have a condensate gutter around the inside and drain it to a bucket for some warm water, also have a catch pan in the hood under the stack, and drain that to the gutter.

Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
Thanks guys! I went and paid for it yesterday and took some pics I'll get them loaded up. I've been reading on here about hoods but I'm not ready to build yet. Might drive around and look at some so I get the channeling right the first time etc
