Hi there I'm looking to start up my own operation next year instead of boiling for other friends and I'm looking for a good deal on a used evaporator , anything from a mason 2x4 or a randy worthen 2x6. Let me know what you have and the price thank you!

I'm in Harrisville NH, and am thinking of moving up. I have a Leader King 2x6 drop flue, lead free soldered made in 1995. I made 130 gallons on it this year. I've not made my decision yet, but should be worth around $2500, I would think. Give me a call if you like. 381-3694. Doug

Depending on what you want to do, knowing over time as you get 'addicted' to making maple syrup, I can recommend our Leader 2x6 with a steamaway. You can run as little as 300 taps to up to over a 1000. It is not a cheap investment but an evaporator that will last you a very long time and pretty much handle whatever you end up doing down the road if friends end up wanting to add more sap to the sugarhouse? $9500 for the entire rig including smokestack. Depending on how many taps you have, you can have the syrup pay for the rig in less than 3 years easily...........All stainless, excellent condition.......I'm near rutland, VT.........thanks.
