First, let the record show that I have no short term memory whatsoever. I'd probably be dangerous if I had any memory.

I asked this question, or one similar, a while ago, and can't remember the complete answer.

How are the front and rear pans sized to each other? There are 2 ft. fronts and 4 ft. flues, 3 ft. and 5 ft., sometimes 2 ft. and 6 ft. There are some that are divided 50/50. Why are some quite short compared to the overall length, and others are very long? What is the reasoning, or benefits of one over the other?

Knowing what you guy's know about evaporators, what could the maximum length of a flue pan be on a rig that had a 2 ft. long syrup pan?

I have played with the idea of stretching my arch, but now I'm wondering about possible limitations caused by improper sizing.

Thank's,
Steve
