    Good idea I will blast some out this weekend. Also wanted to add a small "SS7000" (super sapper 7000) as we all call it

    What is the distance between the bottom of the flue pan to the arch? Thanks

    9 inches without brick,

    With the bricks about 1/2 . I used 2" bricks and my flues are about between 6.5 and 6.75", plus pan gasket

    You have done a mighty fine job with that build. Is there any reason why you didn't put dividers in the rear pan.
    2004 - 2012 2x3 flat pan 25 to 60 taps
    2012 2x3 new divided pan w/draw off 55 taps
    2018 - didn't boil surgery - bought new evaporator
    2019 new SML 2x4 raised flue high output evap. 65 taps
    made 17 gal. syrup
    2020 - only put out 53 taps - made 16.25 ga.l syrup
    2021 - Didn't work out
    2022 - 25 taps on bags / 8 taps on 3/16's line - late start

    To be honest it was kind of an oversight. The way everything is set up now I would have to change some fittings or the float box. I'll try it as is for this season and tweak accordingly. If it will do 25gph then I will probably do nothing

    That is an absolutely beautiful build. Well done sir. I like that you have named it. We call ours Sapzilla because we have converted it to run off pure used veggie oil and it roars.
    Where about in Ontario are you?
