Used equipment

[Zamboni Driver]

Hello all,
I am looking for some one in Michigan who may have a used 2X6, 2X8, 30"X8, or 3X8. If any of you know or see one available in Michigan, please post here. I do not have alot of time to go about the country looking for a used evaporator.
Thank you
ZD

Here's where I got my firebrick. They seemed pretty reasonable. I also bought some 1/2" refractory blanket drops if you are looking for that as well.

Rookie at work here in Allegan County first year with my own evaporator; homemade 30 by 72 inch pan. Finished my first batch ever of nearly 4.5 gallons the other day and of course scorched it as I was finishing. Grill cleaner works pretty well on the scorching but pretty hard to clean up the syrup with it. I salvaged about 2 1/2 gallons with the help of a very kind local producer who owns a Leader Press; So Very Cool! Syrup a little dark but crystal clear with a great taste! How do you other small producers filter this stuff effectively? Any plans out there for a hand operated filter press; I'm not likely to get more aggressive than the say 80 taps (52 this year).
