Grates - Metal vs Brick/Refractory
Hey all,
With this 2x6 I am planning, I need to make a decision on grate system. For me metal would be the easiest to fabricate and replace if needed. But what advantages are there of brick or refractory grates/flooring in the evaporator? This build is AOF/AUF.
Thanks,
Jacob
