2x4 Drop Flue Sunrise vs. Smoky Lake vs. Badgerland
I am looking for opinions about these 3 drop flue pans. They are all close to the same price.
The Badgerland and Smoky Lake Hybrid Hobby Pro are made with shiny 22 gauge and have superior craftsmanship. The Sunrise Spitfire has a reversible syrup pan with the draw off in the middle of the evaporator where it’s hotter, but the dividers are only spot welded. However, Sunrise will make me a custom unit with (9) 8” flues instead of the standard 5”. That’s going to be considerably more surface area than the others.
I am leaning towards the Sunrise because they are made here in Indiana but was hoping to see what you guys think.
Thanks.
