How raging are your fires?

Maybe they will soon relize that they shouldn't cut those sugar maples down for ball bats. LOL

HAHAHA really!! Made me wonder what they were thinking when I first saw them.

Sorta off the subject, but if I went with a large CFM blower on my evaporator, would it increase the gph rate significantly?? I never have anywhere close to flames coming out the top of the stack, just some sparks. It came from Leader, so I would guess it is the same blower that a 2x6 uses??

I know someone posted a link on here for Graingers or somewhere like that that had the same blower for $ 69 last year and would imagine they have larger.

Brandon,

I just bought a 200 CFM blower from them part number 4C754 for my new 2x6. I don't have anything to compare it too, but I'll let you know if I need to throttle it back. I chose this one because it had good performance at higher pressure drops and ran slower so maybe a little quieter. It looks good, I'll be trying it out this weekend.

Brandon,

Let me check the cfm on my 2 1/8 x 8 that I just got from Leader. I get no flame or sparks out the stack but I can get 1100 degree stack temp with no problem.

I agree that pallets burn very hot and give you the best evaporation rate. I burn them some times. If you look around you might find a business that would pay you to take the pallets because they have to pay to get rid of them. With my 3X12 I burn around 6 pallets per hour and evaporate 140GPH
