Hey guys
I posted a picture of the best side view I have of the arch . The restriction at back of flue pan is to slw the flames and gasses down a bit, the opening is 1.5 inches tall and 24 inches wide flowing into a 3 inch wide by 20 inch base stack 36 inches long then into 10 foot of 8 inch stack.
This was the first boil of SAP I found a few things that need tweaking but they are pretty easy fixes .
The biggest problem is no boil in the syrup pans I think I gonna try more air under fire with a 150 cfm blower my blower now after researching it only blows about 75 cfm.
What is best way to put AUF just pump it into the ash pit from the back or direct it upward toward fire grates.
My ashpit is about 23 wide and about 24 long and from bottom of fire grate to bottom of arch is about 6 to 8 inches deep.
Send me your knowledge or thoughts please
Thanks in advance
