Using a 3 burner propane camp stove this year with 3 steam pans. First boil with clean new pans was at about a 40 degree outside temp worked well. Easy to get the sap up to a boil.
Last night, 15 degrees, a little wind, and the bottom of my steam pans are covered in black soot (I cleaned the inside, but not the bottom). It was very difficult to get the SAP to remain at a boil temp.
Questions:
1. Does the black soot on the bottom of the pan affect the boiling?
2. Do I need a boil to get evaporation to occur the most efficiently. I could hold a temp of 205 pretty good.
3. Would I be better getting a thicker professional pan?
thx
