    Default Looking for some equipment.

    I just got back home from buying another Gingerich RO, it started as a 125, then a second membrane was added, now it's a 250. I need a 2x5 or 2x6 evaporator, prefer raised flue but will go with a drop flue if that's all I find and a vacuum pump.
    My back up plan if I don't find an evaporator, is to use my propane 2x6 finisher for a year. Looking for wood fired, but will consider oil too.
    Dave Klish, I recently bought a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    Any luck? I might know of a wood-fired 2x6 in Vermont. Father who used it a long time and cared well for it decided to be done and gave it to son, who tried to do like 300 taps on it with no RO and burned himself out! Too big for me at this time. Not listed yet... suspect they're mulling it over.

    I'm in Wisconsin, but I will be selling my 2x6 Smoky Lake drop flue with a homemade arch. I am selling the whole thing as a set if possible, pans, arch, hoods, concentric exhaust, pre heater. I ordered a 2x6 raised flue Silverplate and it is due in December.
