Tried to get this new fabricated make shift kettle to boil water and couldn't get past 208 degrees after 4 hours. What is wrong here?
Couple of things to consider:
1) Kettle is 5bbl capacity
2) Direct fire - burner is up to 325k BTU - lots of heat
3) Kettle is thin single walled.
4) SS skirt surrounds the bottom
5) Middle of the kettle is a 5 in burn pipe/exhaust flue with an adjustable damper.
6) Exhaust fan above pulls steam/vapor out through the roof.
Any tips/tricks/thoughts are appreciated!
Sorry, can't get the photo turn right side up!
