Maple Sugaring arch Build "Pic heavy"

admin

Built this new arch for a customer whom I also help during the sugaring season. His old arch is only one season old but had a multitude of problems so its going back to the company that built it. I did however reuse their door so I can't take credit for that part. I just had to make it fit the new arch. The old arch warped and leaked smoke from everywhere as this is a wood fired force draft setup. On the new setup the fire box is larger and I doubled the blow through fire grate area. All the frame work is 1/4" steel. First pics of the old one and then the build. Sorry for the close pics but I was in tight work space. I'm very pleased with the outcome since it was built on site and on the floor. Built most of it with my TB 302 and a little mig work with a hh 185.

Reply:That isn't a tub. That is the back pan is 30"x9' raised flue pan. How many taps you going to put out?

Reply:That whole setup looks unsanitary. I am constantly freaked out by the things I like to eat and where they come from or how they are made. Make more. I like it all over my biscuits and gravy!!!!!!Lincoln Power Mig 210MP MIGLincoln Power Mig 350MP - MIG and Push-PullLincoln TIG 300-300Lincoln Hobby-Weld 110v  Thanks JLAMESCK TIG TORCH, gas diffuser, pyrex cupThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101My brain
