DIY Evaporator for Sugaring

What's up guys! Maple syrup season is upon us and we are busy getting ready for it on the homestead. But before we get to taste that delicious sweet syrup we need a way to evaporate the water from the sap! This is our homemade DIY evaporator setup, built from a 55 gallon drum with a stove coversion kit from Amazon. Hope you all enjoy this video and find the information useful to your own evaporator setup. Feel free to ask us any questions about the process down below in the comments. Happy sugaring!

This is so awesome!! Building an evaporator by hand using a 55-gallon drum and some old stove pipe you found next to your log cabin... that is some serious Maine energy right there. 😁🍁👏

It really is😂 the Maine maple vibes are heavy!!

[@debirusso9882]
