Yes my new evaporator will be oil fired and I am hoping to reach an 85 percent efficient use of BTU‘s. The overall size is still in question and limited to my ever shrinking budget.

Individually the parts to the tubing set up are cheap. Overall, with required tools I will need for the big picture, I am looking at over $500 to set up tubing network alone.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I made the above post. Not sure why I was logged in as guest?

I noticed that, that happened to pork once as well, not sure what caused that.

Where are you getting the tubing from?

Hey Rinkus, give me a call when you get a second, I have a idea how to get your materials for a fraction of the cost, the local restaurant supply store carries maple syrup supplies and me and him just so happen to have a great relationship, we barter a lot of times for things I need, it's how I got my ice machine, I paid him in gift certificates. If you can get me a list I will see if he wants to trade for gift certificates again. Say he wants 400 dollars in g.c.'s, well my cost for those is just my food cost which is around 31 percent, so you just give the 120 dollars it would cost me in the food to honor them and you get 400 dollars worth of supplies.

I talked to the guy today, he has inventory and is open to barter, we need to get out there and get everything measured
