5 gallon stainless steel pot: amzn.to/3UebnFV Maple evaporator pan 20"x30": amzn.to/3vPAIO1 High Temp Gloves: amzn.to/3vK1kA7 Maple Taps: amzn.to/3vF2k8G
Nice work. I do a similar thing, but I just set the evaporator on top of a burn barrel and feed wood into the barrel while I'm working on other stuff around the barn. It's fun to do your own maple syrup, but it sure is a little frustrating to do 4 hours of work, use up $20-30 of firewood, and end up with $4 worth of syrup...haha
Yeah I hope I can get a lot more sap next year. That little half pint didn't last long. It really is pretty simple to do it just takes time. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing! You describing how good your gloves are while bare handing logs in the fire, gave me a knowing chuckle. For 3 hour cook, you lost at least a gallon on the drip. Why didn't you stir it a bit to get the cooler stuff on the hot side? Might have sped the cook up a bit.
@@michaeldixon2942 haha I mostly used the gloves to get the concrete block off. I'm just so used to throwing wood on the fire with my bare hands. But yeah it would make sense to use them lol. And I didn't really think of that.
Hell yeah, thanks for sharing big dog!
