Hey folks again its maple syrup season again!! woohooo!! I have been waiting all winter for this and have been busy making a new stove or “Evaporator” and purchased an new stainless pan. I got a 3’ x 2’ pan with a valve outlet and hole for a thermometer. I get most of my supplies at Atkinson's Maple Syrup Products.
The evaporator is an old home oil tank cut in half. Then I welded a steel frame around the top,Added a chimney and door. I will let you know how it worked.
Last Thursday I went back to the bush you see in the picture and tapped 20 trees and then on Friday I tapped another 20 trees. That is more then twice the amount of taps as last year Link to last years video. I had some friends look around last summer at yard sales for taps and pails and ended up with 40 in total.
Making Syrup is so much fun, it does not seem like hard work even though it is. If anyone has any questions or comments, please let me know in the comment section. Or if you want to see more on syrup.
