Well I am ready for my second year and have upgraded from the turkey fryer. Thanks to all here that have shared info. Test boil on my Oil tank evaporator today. Had to get my teenager to help with the stack. IMG_0153.jpgIMG_0154.jpgIMG_0156.jpgIMG_0155.jpg. Had a local shop build my pans
Next task get the pvc piping connected to my storage barrel.
