Arch Build - How much of the pan needs supported by the arch?
I'm fabricating an arch this fall for a 2x4 pan. As of now the plan is to use 2x2x3/16 angle iron for the frame.
I know the goal is to expose as much of the bottom of the pan to direct flame. How much of the pan needs to sit on the frame for support?
Let me know if I need to explain what I am asking any further.
I've attached a rough illustration showing the dimension I'm asking for.
Thanks!

1/2 to 3/4 inch should be enough to support it.

Great. Thanks for responding!Originally Posted by Super Sapper
Mine has about 1/4-3/8" support along each side. The greater the area open to the fire the better the boil.
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.
