I tried to do a search but nothing came up probably did something wrong. I haven't been on this sight for a long time so still trying to figure things out

I ordered a syrup pan from him and do have to comment that his workmanship was top notch, but had to wait for it well over the deadline. Needless to say though it was well worth it.

Petey-

I don't own any of Patrick Phaneuf's products, not have I ever dealt with him personally. I have read previous threads that discuss his products. If I were to sum them up it would be to say that he does great work, but, as already mentioned, has shown to be unreliable when it comes to deadlines. I've found some older threads where he and his products are discussed. Read them for yourself before you make any decisions either way.

didnt he change his web site name ???? He has a few arch pan sets on Ebay and the web site is differant

Haynes website name is the same ebay name for him is 16guage or 16 something. I gotta say that I am very pleased with my evaporator from Patrick. I orderd in september and he missed the delivery date of december but I told him I wanted it installed first couple weeks in january. Got it 1st week in january. I know he tries to gang his deliveries up to make mutiple deliveries at once and probably some of the reason for delivery problems. But all in all I would not hesitate to order from patrick again. He has gotta be doing something right cause he gets alot of orders. I think we all could find some sort of flaws with every evaporator out there if we looked hard enough. But I would look at every possible manufacturer and decide what works for you the best. Kinda like a women in my opinion. Everybody has a different taste. The evaporator doesn't talk back though.

Oh? Get that evaporator all fired up and walk away from it and see if it doesn't throw a fit. :lol:

I have one of his pans its as nice or nicer than other pans I have seen, delivery took a long time but was worth the wait

Clan the evaporator doesn't throw a fit she is just always begging for more wood and sap. I gotta give her a name yet any ideas?
