Purchased a used sunrise 2x2, and a used smokey lake hybrid to replace the old 6x6 Grimm syrup pan that we have been boiling on(attached picture). planning to replace the threaded fittings with sanitary fittings on the smokey lake pan. also building our first metal arch. Previously we had an arch built out of cinder block. Any suggestions or observations welcome on our progress.
