Just started my evaporator today. Thanks to a buddy who's dad owns a welding shop. The tank is 27" wide so we used 2" angle for the sides. That only gives 1/2" of bearing for the pans, I hope that's enough. Picked up a cast iron radiator for $20 for the grates. the spacing is 1/2". I made the firebox 24" deep. If it ends up being too deep I can always shorten it. I made the flue under the back pan 3 1/4", I figure on 1" blanket will put me around 2" which will equal my 8" stack. I am making two 2'x3' flat pans, the back pan will have one divider and the front pan will have three. Tried to upload a sketch of the pans but couldn't. Ill have to work on that. Still have a ways to go, but happy with the progress! any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
