While it is advised on wood stoves to have a tee, that is because wood stoves burn so poorly that creosote builds up. On an evaporator you will fire it hard, not slow, so no creosote. Use an elbow, and make it 24 ga or heavier. With sheet metal for those who don't know, the lower the number of the gauge, the heavier it is. Even with 24 ga, check it for thin spots before every season. 20 ga is more like it for galvanized stacks, in SS 22 is ok.
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.
