Thanks Charles, we are looking at CO2. The kettles are 7.5 ft. x 20 ft. and they have covers latched onto them when they are operating so CO2 seems like the natural choice (pun intended) but we're always looking for new ideas.

The usual solution is an engineered system preferably CO2 although Dry chemical can be used. C.

Never deluge. Plus area sprinkler protection if required by code. Also take a look at Victaulic's Vortex system. Craig L.
