    Also, you might consider hi temp insulation. Between the bricks and barrel. This will keep more heat under you pan. Nice job!

    Update to a ghost thread! A few years ago I wound up buying a Mason 2x3 evaporator. I love it. It's very nicely made and came at a very reasonable price in my opinion. I'm still boiling in the driveway, so Bill welded some tabs on the legs so I can screw it to a pallet to move it out from storage in the shed. If I could go back in time, I would have just bought this to begin with. It has a blower, and I get 10gpm pretty easily. I also got a bigger tractor which makes sap collection a little easier (I got a bigger storage tank too, a used IBC, which I'll clean out and use next year). This really is sort of an addiction!
