Can anyone tell me what the standard stack size is on a leader 2 x 6 WSE evaporator is? I just purchased one and it has a 10 inch pipe on it. Is that normal?

Yes that is the normal size stack for that evaporator.

Yes, that is good. back when I had a 2x6 it had a 7" stack and drew well, but I had 17' of stack on it, because my walls are 10' and my trusses add more feet then I had the prescribed ' above the roof. If I only had the basic 12' (2x the length) it may not have drawn well. Even back then most 2x6's came with a 8-9 or 10" stack.
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.
Yeah my wse I bought used had 7 inch stack on it. I believe it is original.
This was our last year on our 2x6 WSE and we ran a 10" stack. We use the SS screen in the bottom to cut down on embers. We used the base stack and a short transition piece to go to metalbestos for 15 of so feet total height. Good draft.
