Evap. Rate?

Just watching my boil and filling my time with thinking....

I'm guessing that I am boiling off about 1 gal. per hour in my 12x16x6 restaurant pan on my propane turkey cooker.

Does that sound about right?

Hi Jeff. On a rapid boil you should be able to boil off a gallon per square foot of surface area. Keep the boil going by warming the sap as you add it if you can. Preheating on the stove or in a spare kettle will help. Or use a coffee can on the side of your pan with a tiny hole punched in the bottom of the coffee can. It will slowly drip into your pan and be warmed by the steam coming off your boil pan.

Here is my coffee can set-up. 7514
