This homemade maple syrup evaporater works great. We make a gallon of maple syrup every year. So good!

My biggest problem with this setup the first time I tried it was smoke and soot getting into the boiling sap. Despite straining it during the boil and filtering it later just prior to bottling, it had a decent amount of fine ash in the finished product. My syrup also had a "smoky" taste. The next year I bought some flat iron to run between and around the perimeter of the pans. I also tried to seal up as many gaps as I could with smaller bricks. I also included a chimney setup at the rear using round HVAC heating ducts. This SIGNIFICANTLY reduced the amount of ash and smokiness in the finished sap. My friends at work said it was the best maple syrup they ever had in their lives. No kidding!

Agreed.. the chimney smoke stack pushing the draft away from the sap is key to keeping the ash and smoke away from affecting the flavor. Thanks for watching and your input!!!

Great video! First time I've tried this and I'm liking it. Did the pipe do a good job of keeping the smokey flavor out? Mine got a lot of Ash in it too.

so what's the difference between each pans? you said that the one closer to the chimney is hotter. Does each pans contain the same liquid? how does this evaporator works? can you give more detail about it

How do you remove the pans without spilling? Or do you just ladle it out?

Well, by the time its ready to be removed I wear fireplace gloves and pour it into a large pot to finish off inside. So, a ladle would work but you won't get all of it. Thanks for watching!

lightningxx when it starts to stick and slowly drip off the ladle it’s getting close. Sometimes I just wait until I have a manageable amount of liquid.

For sure will make it hotter! I just didn’t want ash possibly blowing all over the place. :)
