I know what many of you will say about the top and filter area. I let him know that the style he designed won't work, so he is redoing the filter holder and will use this:

I love custom made work by a great craftsman. Anyone needs anything made he does GREAT work!

So how much was it?

Nice looking unit. How much syrup will it hold?

My math is pretty bad but if I'm right it could hold 11 gallons at a time, not sure I'd bottle that much at once though but I could if necessary.

16x16 will hold 1.11 gal/inch deep, if those measurements are accurate.

Wow, that looks really nice.

Beautiful unit. Do you mean $400 as shown with thermometer and valve? I agree with you, filtering without the right equipment is by far the worse part of this insane "hobby".:cry:

Ended up being $485. I went to Slatterlys Maple supply just up the road from his shop and they had a similar unit from CDL with the holes for the filter unit just like he originally made me as opposed to the grating, it did come with a burner, but they wanted $1025 for it, EXACT same size. That's CRAZY!! This will sit right on a little propane burner stove I have or a turkey fryer base and will be exactly what I wanted and needed.

Thank you.

Just a suggestion. You will need to leave your burner as low as you can have it and stir the syrup every few minutes. We have 2 of them and they create niter quick. But they work slick.

Thanks for the advice
