Insulators weld a pin to the wall, shove insulation over it, and then there is a washer you force on. The washer is press fit and doesn't come back off. I've been searching everywhere for a place to pick up 100 of them.Screenshot_20181213-174424_Gallery.jpg
Also I made 50 gallons of syrup on my barrel stove last year. High % yard trees 75 taps. I also use r.o. I still worked 40 hrs a week. It took up all my free time but I did it. I made a thread a few pages back if you want to see it. Flat pan, ceramic insulation, firebrick, auf

Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
I've searched hours for these. Thank you. I'm not sure they sell to the general public but I can use my company info. It's a mechanical contractor shop.
They might only sell by the 1000 also. I'd love 100 which is already overkill.
Very nice build, MDR Maple! Looks very similar to the way I approached my barrel build as well. Barrel builders unite! ;-)

2017: Found a new addiction/hobby!: 6 taps, Coleman stove/turkey fryer, graduated to barrel arch, 1.75 gal
2018: Increased efficiency - 22 taps on 3/16 gravity vac, 10 buckets, homemade extended barrel arch w/ firebrick, warming pan, 20X30 baffled pan, small home-built RO, 11.5 gal
2019: Same as above now with AUF, home-built float pan, gas sap pump, fewer fire brick but more insulation, maybe a few more taps if the wife lets me. ;-)
