Well. it would, except all the stands were replaced by wall hangers long ago:

Finally found a use for all those things, so at least some are no longer a pile of evil twisted metal laying in wait to spill off the storage shelves and attack every time we opened the closet.
Valleyman Do you still have a photo of your cone filter stand? I can't get it to load with link in this post.
Thanks

I have a stand similar to the PVC one. I built a styrofoam box for around mine. Once I pour the syrup into filter I set a cover on top of it and it filters good.Originally Posted by SilverLeaf
like the idea of the PVC stand and love the use of the old coffee pot. I think I will need to check out the local Goodwill and Salvation Army stores for one of those.

Filtering has always been the hardest part of making quality syrup. A few years ago we came up with a system were we use a 5 gallon plastic pail and a 1 gallon pail. Here is a link to how it is put together. https://sites.google.com/site/mattat...me/filter-tank
It works well for batches of 3 gallons or less.

I really like that seeing as how I have a bunch of buckets that I could spare for something like that.

Do you draw off directly into the double bucket unit?
Thanks,

In the Spring of '15, after boiling with Eric Johnson of Tucker Mountain Maple for 10 years, we began boiling the sap from our 3-400 taps here. I bought my rig from Eric, a 2-1/2 X 8 raised flue on a custom air-injected wood-fired arch. We put our syrup up in glass and sell til we run out. We are not using vacuum, an RO or filter press.

You could draw directly into the double bucket filter. We batch boil and pick the pan and set it on top of a wheelbarrow and then draw directly into the filter setup. It is the perfect height and with the spigot near the handles of the wheelbarrow gravity allows it to run right out of the pan.
