We have made several different style pans. Our most common are Flat pans but we have made flue pans in the past.

Looking for some pans for the 2014 season. Already ordered this years pan. Will have to give you a call for pricing. looking for 2 4'x4' pan or a single 8'x4'. front pan being a divided pan, the rear pan is my preheat flat pan. using float boxes to connect flows between rear and front pan. Actually, if you want to post a price that would be great. Dont want a thin pan. 22 gauge is to thin for my taste. Probably looking for 18Ga. What do you think. Something you can do?

[SapZilla]

And how do you put dividers in?

If you look at my post from the 22nd it has a picture of a pan we built with dividers. They are stitch weld not seal weld.

So we have your phone number if we need it as you have listed it several times. But what is going to make someone call? You either need to make high quality and charge high prices or make low quality and charge low prices. I see your 2 foot by 4 foot pan for sale on ebay for $400. That is the most expensive one and it looks very amateur built. Tack welding dividers is no way to build a syrup pan (yes it is fine for homemade but your selling these? ) What edge do you have in the maple equipment world? Please understand I am not being rude but I run a machine shop and had to ask myself this when I started out 27 years ago.

We probably have in the neighborhood of 100 pans for local guys. We are a sheetmetal shop in central Wisconsin and have made these for people that stop in and ask us to build them a pan. We do not make flue pans and are looking to sell to the guy that taps up too 1000 taps or so. I have 2 pans that my family has been cooking on since the late 80's. Stainless Specialists was started in 1984 and we mostly work in food plants so we know what it takes. I personally tap around 750 taps a year and the guys that build these pans in our shop also tap trees some as much as me and some less. They take pride in what they do and would be happy to build anyone a pan that is interested. Take a look at the arch they built. The one that it replaced was made identical to it and was orginally built in 1984 and lasted until the end of last season. I think that says alot in itself.

I only have a few hundred taps and wouldn't think of boiling without a flue pan.

I guess it is a bit weird that you came on here just to show that you build pans like that . Best of luck to you though.


What's a cooker?... Just KIDDING.

I couldn't agree more, 4x9 with flat pans are you nuts ? Thats a lot of cooking on that " cooker ". lol

[not_for_sale]

Well, I don't think the pan is amateur built. At least to me it doesn't look like it. The welds look pretty good. Just not shiny and its made from 18 gauge, not 22 gauge. So it's a low end pan. Not the worst new pan available on eBay but also not the best.

However, for the price I'd go with one of the other guys that I've heard of on this site. I am in the market for a pan and arch for next spring that can handle up to a thousand taps.

I work in marketing and you need to find your niche. That involves finding what's available already and in that regard you are not very unique with what you offered here.

Can you do 22 gauge and flues?

One can boil on a flat pan with more then a few hundred taps. We run 1600+ taps this year on a flat pan but we do boil 18hr a day and sell extra sap.
