Why such the long faces flatlander oh maybe you just had some Maine maple syrup and realized how wicked good it is:D:lol:

[collinsmapleman2012]

[Flat Lander Sugaring]

After all you guys catch up to VT in Quality and Production come see me then.:D

[500592]

Vermont may have quantity but not the quality Maine does but on a serious note does anyone have any info on my new evaporator

[70 Buick]

Well being from Quebec
I believe all of you together barely touch our production LOL

[KenWP]

The evaporator is made in Quebec at Saint-Marie-de-beauce.He has a good evaporators as he was chossen to represent Quebec as a artisan in 1986.

http://evaporateursjeanfaucher.com/Produits/produits.htm I find it quite amazing that this company has been in business for 3 generations and yet this is the first time I have seen them mentioned on the trader or have ever heard of them before. The evaporator looks pretty slick and there are some similar design in his arch that I see in another guys evaporators fromt the same area in saint marie. Interesting.

[KenWP]

It's the secret french thing.You have to work for them to understand it all.Or be married to one.

[500592]

Thanks Ken for the info when we looked at it it had been very well maintained had the craftsmanship looked good so we bought and are picking it up next week

I was mainly speaking of the States because I know we dont even come close to you canuks, when those mainiacs start putting cow dung in there syrup to make it taste good I would hve to call it the line and move to VT

[500592]

Wait Ken canada syrup have to say isn't as good as vermont let alone Maine's awesome syrup

[Thad Blaisdell]

I have heard that the secret to the "excellent" Maine syrup was that they used fresh scent kitty litter as their DE.

I have heard that the secret to the "excellent" Maine syrup was that they used fresh scent kitty litter as their DE.

And they use the empty unwashed kitty litter buckets to collect their sap.

[500592]

I heard that in Vermont that the syrup is filtered through an old gym sock and that in Michigan they used to rotten cheese to make michigan syup

Watch out guys, somebody that never taste Maple syrup could read your description of "secret recipes" and start a national mouvement against american maple syrup :lol:

[Monster Maples]

Actually, in Michigan they use diapers to filter with. :lol:

[holey_bucket]

I never thought of gym socks... I thought we filtered with used panty hose and last season's insulated socks!

[KenWP]

When a Michiganian gets old enough he takes off his diaper and filters syrup with it.

I agree... looks good but where the heck did this company come from? With months of searching I spent collecting links for www.Sugarbush.Info I never ran across their site or even the name of the company. It is quite possible the web site is fairly new so I wouldn't have known about them but surely at least the company name would be listed in Google, Yahoo, or Bing results 6 months ago if they have been around for 3 generations. A good deal is a good deal and fortunately there are not a lot of moving parts in an evaporator to create warranty issues later on.

[500592]

So Bryan you think I got a good deal at 1750?

[3rdgen.maple]

Can I ask you this? Are you happy with the price? Are you happy with the evaporator? If so then you got yourself a good deal. Without seeing it and giving it a good inspection I think only you truly can decide if its a good deal or not. Lots of times a good deal is all about the demand the consumer has and sometimes a deal is so good you just have to buy it and then it sits in the corner of the garage for 10 years and one day when you trip over it for the 100th time you think for a second man I got ripped off I didnt even need that thing lol.

[BryanEx]

So Bryan you think I got a good deal at 1750?

I do. Bill Mason sells his 2 x 4 flat pan evap for about $1200 and D&G lists their 18 x 60 drop flue at $3100 locally. Providing the fit and finish is what you expect when it shows up I think you're bucks up from your purchase.
