Using the 3.5 gallon head tank as reference I did many checks today in evaporation rate. Most were around 25 with a few upwards of 32. Very happy with how it's working. The only modification I...

Well some quick tests show this things doing about 25gph. We only had about 50 gallons of sap last weekend, I ran it hard for a half hour then turned the blower off because we had some people...

Thanks! I Have a ton of hours into this thing. I am in wyoming ontario

To be honest it was kind of an oversight. The way everything is set up now I would have to change some fittings or the float box. I'll try it as is for this season and tweak accordingly. If it will...

Lots more pics added, its in the bush and bricked. Just some odds and ends to finish up before this weekend

9 inches without brick,

With the bricks about 1/2 . I used 2" bricks and my flues are about between 6.5 and 6.75", plus pan gasket

A short section of 8" sch 40 pipe should work.

Added more pictures, finally got the arch home from work and got to set the pans on. Looks killer. Google drive in original post for pics

Good idea I will blast some out this weekend. Also wanted to add a small "SS7000" (super sapper 7000) as we all call it

Finished up the door latch today and scored a 6x8 reducer. I have 6" pipe in the shack but built the base stack to fit 8" incase i ever thought i needed more flow. I'll just use a foot of 8" and the...

Nice job! I'm calling this a 2x4 but it is actually 2feet outside. Actual pan surface is 20" x 48". Lots of stuff said 2 feet was to wide on this short of arch

This pan was a challenge enough to build, with corner joints and heat sinks the welding didn't go that bad. I'm not sure how they do the manifold but just the thought of fillet welds on this thin of...

Pics added to the Google link in original post, syrup pan and dividers are done just need to join the 2. Went with 3 dividers, should give me about a liter draw off

Was up in the air about a drain, the v pan I built before this one didn't have a drain and I did fine without it. The pan should drain down to the top of the flues with the sanitary fitting to the...

Thanks! It has been quite a bit of work and welding 22 ga. Can be tricky. I basically has a barrel stove before that ended up getting sectioned of inside with a ramp and a V pan that i made. It was...

Been working on this for a while now. Can't wait to see how it works this year

My cousin still boils on old galvanized steel pans, they are probably 40 years old. I have built him 1 replacement SS pan the last 2 years as they are finally at the end of thier life. I say do it. I...

I guess the deciding factor will be the cost, does anyone have any idea what value they would put on one of these

One of these is for sale local to me and im looking to find out what kind of evaporation rate people are getting from them. Right now I am boiling on a glorified barrel stove, 15x32 doing about...

So it wont let me upload more than one photo at a time? Why wont the links work how are you supposed to do a nice step by step with photos in the text?

Does this site not allow you to add photo links instead of the jank upload that is next to impossible on a phone

I have a glorified barrel stove, is it actually a piece of 24" pipe. We have been boiling in a flat pan for 2 years and wanted to try and step up the efficiency of the current set up before a build a...
