For what it is worth, i am running a 2x6 with a 2x2 front pan. Drawoff box is at e back ( grimm /leader ). I run about 1" deep. ( as stated earlier 18%) Once i have the continuous draw going... everything just flows..
You have to be willing to start drawing from the box just before the center gets to syrup. It will go way over syrup for a quart or so then settle down into a nice cotrolled flow. No batching..
