Thanks again for the help. I found cases of both 8 and 16oz for around 8 bucks. I appreciate all the help out there. Now if only filtering were easier!

Thank you for the responses.

I have used plastic jugs in the past as well as some of the fancier glass jars but to be cost effective, I was thinking of using the mason jars. I have heard of people getting mold into the jars in...

maybe not caramel but a more robust syrup taste.

great, thank you.

I over boiled my last batch of syrup and it is quite thick. Can I add it to another batch to thin it it a bit? Thanks

Anyone still tapping? I did get a late start but the next few weeks looks to be promising. It has been another crazy and unpredictable season, like last year. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. I will keep you updated, Kevin

Thanks. Do you think it will be an issue if i recess the pans into the top of the evap? Mine is similar to yours but i have a grid on top and the pans simply sit into those? Also what kind of...

Do you have your pans directly over the fire? What are you getting per hour for evap?

I am using a 275 gallon oil tank to make an evaporator. It will be upright and was wondering about the size of the firebox. I was thinking of 24 or so inches in size and then block off the back of...

I will check for them, thank you.

How long will the firebrick last? Thanks, Kevin

I will be lining the inside only. In years past I did sand and pavers on the inside and fire brick ontop of that. I have not glued them in the past, not sure about doing that this year. Do you...

What about Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight or Home Depot/Lowes??

I am currently building my oil tank evaporator and will line it with sand, brick and some ceramic fire blanket. Where is the best place to order or directly purchase this? I plan to insulate the...

can you take a picture of the front with the door open so i can get a better understanding. thanks, Kevin

sorry, you ran the metal all the way to the front then lined that with the insulation blanket, firebrick/sand on the bottom of the tank?

in looking at the top part, you lined that with blanket and then put the trays inside that correct? it looks great.

So you used the metal that you cut from the tank and placed it into the evap to decrease the extra space, versus keeping the whole inside open correct. It looks like a beast. kevin

Also what did you line the box with? What is the white material? That looks like a great set up. How many gallons can you boil/hour?

can you send a pic of the door? also we are up in sugarhill often. my inlaws have a place in woodsville and we love to go to Pollys!

what size pans do you use to evaporate?

I am in the process of taking a 275 gallon oil tank and converting it into a evaporator. Can anyone help me to find a door for the front of the evap? I do remember seeing them in the past on line...

I had about 30 gallons today from 25-30 taps.
