What is your stack temp?

[ennismaple]

I have no experience yet, but read in a Leader instruction manual to keep the stack around 150F..

Something's not right - there's no way our pans would do anything more than simmer if the stack temp was 150 F. At 1900 F at the back of the syrup pan there's no way you can get that much heat out of the combustion gas in a 10 foot contact length. Maybe if you're running a piggyback pan system and routing all the gases through tubes in a secondary pan before the stack but not with a forced air arch.

Lapierre's published numbers from actual testing of their Force 5 is:

Kinda wondered about that..... Must be a typo-- (1500F probably)... below is copied from the instructions for a "Revolution Pan Set"

3. When using a wood fired arch
a. Keep stack temperature in range of 150F
b. Maintain arch ½ to ⅔ full
c. Fire consistently with small amounts of wood to maintain level
d. Use timer to stay on schedule with firings
e. Adjust firing intervals as needed to maintain an even boil

I believe there intention is to keep the temp range within 150F. For example we run our stack temp 850F - 1000F.
