    All-
    I had Randy Worthen build me a 2x6 evaporator last year. He makes a good finished product. It is a bit rough, but the price is right. Not sure he has availability to build any this year or if he is still creating them.
    He is located in Spofford, New Hampshire.
    2015- Didn't know my new property enough to tap anything. 4-feet of snow on the ground.
    2016- 41 Taps with home made barrel evaporator. Made 1.5 gallons syrup.
    2017- 79 Taps with home made block arch evaporator. Made 2.47 gallons syrup
    2018- 91 Taps again with home made block arch. Homemade RO worked great. Made 6.96 gallons syrup.
    2019- 84 Taps. Building another arch. RO in place. New Smoky Lake 2x4 Divided Pan. Everything switched to 3/16" tubing.

    Thanks everyone for the thoughts. I ended up getting a StarCat from Smoky Lake. Put it together today and it feels solid. Need to pick up some firebrick and get my taps in.

    I missed the last 2 years, so looking forward to it!
    30ish taps, all buckets
