What a spicy little thread, haha! I appreciate all the perspectives. I too was wondering if the video was actually wise on Smoky Lake's end, but for sure as a consumer I appreciate knowing the story. I came slightly close to sending money to Bassett this past December for an evaporator. Now I know not to let that happen. I might make an exception at some point if the right Bassett evaporator is physically in front of me so I don't have to wonder if it will materialize. I think, most likely, when I'm ready for wood-fired evaporation, I'll jury rig my own contraption for a while. 2026 season I hope. Not by any spite, its just that they cost a lot, no matter who makes it.
