Homemade Arch - 275 Oil Drum & Chrome Exhaust Stack

[jwith]

I'm new to Maple Syrup Production. We built our first evaporator from a 275 oil tank.

The top of the oil tank was cut off prior to removing from basement.

The top was tack welded in place and the two ends were cut and welded together to make the exhaust flue:



Welded 1-3/4 angle iron around the top opening of the evaporator burn chamber for the evaporator pan to sit securely on.


Cut out the front for barrel kit door. Also cut another 4"x 8" for blower fan below internal grates.
