    Default New Arch

    New Arch.jpgNew Arch #2.jpg

    So Rob at Northwoods Stainless has my plans for our new arch and will also be building us a new 2x6 raised flue evaporator! It will consist of a 2x4 raised flue rear pan and (3) 12" x 24" cross flow pans (one will be a spare). Depending where we stand on money I may even have him build a WRU!

    I am looking to build a 2 x 6 evaporator to replace my old rig I built a few years ago. I was wondering if you share your plans/drawings?

    Sure let me know how you want them. Sketchup or ACAD? Nothing special but may give you some ideas.

    Not much has happened lately as I was waiting on valves and stuff. Here is a pic of 2 of the finished syrup pans.

    Here are the pans complete! He will finish the stack this week. I need to finish the arch with the air nozzles and then paint it, put the stainless sides on, then insulate and brick it. It's getting there!
