An introduction to my propane evaporator for the 2020 season.
Nice!
are those wheels on the legs? please share how you did that. beautiful bricking job.
I like the finisher pail. What brand is it? Where did you get it?
I bought it online. It is an 8 gallon stainless stock pot. Spout on the bottom. This brand is Bayou Classic...
Not a big fam of the gauge boiled for over 8 hrs 50 gallons never did hit the 7
My question is , how do you , at the end of the day, boiling, finish off the boiling pan with out burning the pan,. So you draw off the 219 degree finished sap off the pan , the pan level drops, how do you not burn the pan when you have the level so low, or do you fill the pan back up and save it once it cools might take he's for the fire to cool down and not boil
Not bad for a small operation
Do you sterilize your glass bottles and lids. I have new bottles and lids.
You always want to use new lids. If I reuse bottles I will boil them for about 15 min. If using new bottles I will use them out of the box. Then I fill the bottles at 180 degrees, cap them, lay them on there side. This process sterilizes them after you fill them. Hope this helps.
I use the 2 gallon buckets as well mine are green and gray I like how you can see what is in them
Do you have a video of what the burner serup is like under your evaporator?
I have the 2x4 3 divided pan right side draw off just tapped my first 24 buckets today and still have 100 to go good luck in 2023
Good advice
You are boiling after filtering,that defeats the filtering.
When I'm filtering out of the pan it's more as a pre filter. Then I boil it down in a pot to get the consistency right wher I want it. Then filter it to bottle it...
Great video. I was wondering though, what do you do with the unfinished sap left in the evaporator?
I keep adding to it during the season...
@@sugarshacknation2644 Okay cool… so no need to clean it out every time you use it?
If I know I'm not going to boil for a couple days due to weather, I will empty the pan into a bucket and give it a quick wash out then add it back in when I get more sap and ready to boil again.
Nice setup.
Where did you get your propane stand
I made the stand. Since then I went with a WF Mason wood fired.
Long Trail and Genny, two thumbs way up. Cheers to maple syrup too. :)
Nice job 👍
We make molasses here in NC like this. Good video!
We make maple syrup in NC too ;)
Just got our 2x 4 Mason Evaporator.Not sure how high to brick the center wall from bottom of boil pan. Anyone ?
Got a Bill Mason 2x4 coming this week. Is there a good video out there to show how to brick his evaporator
Did you get any issues with condensation on the metal roofing and it dripping down? I am building my sugar shack right now with lumber off my woodmizer and am debating milling the boards to cover the ceiling completely under the metal roofing.
I do get dripping from the roof. If you have the wood I would recommend covering it.
@@sugarshacknation2644 thanks for the reply. Looks like a great setup you have. Good luck this upcoming season!
@@murchlk thanks! Keep me posted on your sugarshack! Always like seeing others operations... good luck!
I use a single sock filter still I bought at leader
Gave this cocktail a try tonight, delicious.
Do you have pictures of the holes in the partitions or a size? The 10 gallon pre heater is it all the way to the fire and is it fully off the back or is it over the main tank? Is the evaporator sitting in or on the wood stove? Thanks in advance
Great info. Looking to buy an evaporator. Any idea how much syrup you get on your 2 x 3 boiling for 8 hours. Thanks
Looking forward to 2021.
Well done videos! Thoroughly enjoy listening and watching your explanations.
Can you post a pic of the propane evaporator without the pan? I also use propane for the same reasons that you use it. I would like to improve my operation and your's appears to be really good. thanks Ray Lagasse
I bought a 2x4 from him and used it for the 1st time this season. He does quantity work and I couldn’t have been happier. I put a diy 240cfm blower on it and was getting 12+ gal of evap an hour
Jesus loves to save people from their sins. Thank you for the video I hope you know Jesus then I will see you in heaven one day. Cheers
Where did you get your evaporator? What was the price for just the evaporator,no bottom burner.
Evaporator pan is a Badgerland Mapleworks out of Wisconsin. Great pan. Visit there website, they have all sorts of sizes and accessories.. I put it on a new WF Mason 2x3XL this year. You can see it in the new video.
👍just came in from 10 hours of boiling...where’d you get the 7 gal pot? I need one of those!😁
It's a Bayou Classic. Ordered it online...
Amazing shack. I'm looking into the 2x3 Mason evaporator setup to retire my drum setup. In your opinion how big/small should I build my sugar shack and be comfortable working.. thanks. Ps I would love to see sap boiling in your new evaporator.
I have my 2x4 in a 12x18 shed. Built a steam hood out of aluminum angle and sheet aluminum and ran a 400 cfm inline fan from it to an outside wall. Works great.
what do you think of those 5 gal bags from smokey lane ? I am thinking about the whole thing, spile, holder and bag. thanks.
You should include the link to the next video in your description for this video. I think I see it in the recommended list, but you should make it easy for people to find your next video. You have an excellent set up there and it sounds as if you know what you are doing.
We’re in western NC and have just bought our house with a few maple trees on the land. We got some maple syrup buckets and lines from some people moving to the South so we’re gonna definitely be making syrup next year. So glad we found tour channel and thanks for the great videos! Wish we could stop by and get some, maybe in our travels! Thanks Again, Mark & Andrea Ballard PS. @ballardsrvlife is our IG channel. My wife blogs about our 2 1/2 yrs of RV travels before we settled down.
How is the sirup? thanks for the video, i like the spout you made for filling the bottles,. well first try for us 2021. where are you located?
I hope to do some sap boiling,and produce some maple syrup next year.
Good video,good equipment.thx
@ken parry it's a bayou classic. Many different sizes .. find them online. Great stock pots. The 90* spout you will find at the large maple suppliers.. Get a stainless. Some also have thermometers in them..
I like the pot with the valve on it. Where would I find one. Thanks
Awesome, really helpful to see the process
sideways?
@tom baisley. Sorry about that. We are working on the ins and outs if videoing and editing...
@@sugarshacknation2644 about how much brick did it take to bick that 2x3? I go pick up mine tomorrow and I'm having a hard time finding the brick
@hunt4me80 I can't remember off hand. Get in touch with Bill Mason and he'll now the answer to that..
@@sugarshacknation2644 he said 70 I found just that between 3 stores cleaned them all out 🤣
What is thw brand of your finishing pot, and where could I get one?
@dakotawillamson It is a Bayou Classic. 8 gallon stainless stock pot. They come in different sizes. Anywhere online carries them. Make sure you get one with the valve...
@@sugarshacknation2644 Thank you!
@timberframer9 my pan is a 2x3 Badgerland Mapleworks. I believe they are related to Smokey Lake Maple Works. It is a great pan. Divided and you can have valves on each side. This year I went with a 2x3XL Mason arch that is sitting under it. Stay tuned for a video...
I wish I had jumped on one of the smaller Smokey lake pans from a few years ago. They used to sell them on EBay for a really nice price. They are a bit more expensive now. Worth it at both price areas, but they were attainable for a bit less a few years ago. Seems their secret got out because I checked their website out last year and they definitely appear to have grown. Small batching syrup is a ton of fun, also allows you to do other stuff in meantime. For half the day I could check sap boiling way less often than I would have had to check on my kids when they were younger through out the day!
That’s a slick finishing pan! Can you share some info on what kind that is? Keep up the great work!
Oh no, the whole thing is sideways. Can you flip it?
Clearly explained, great video. I'm hoping to get a divided pan like that at some point
Nice hat bub!
Thanks Diego. Came from originalmaine.me
