- Build the DIY Seedling Evaporator with Justin. Here Justin will go through all the steps necessary to build your own Barrel Evaporator using the BYOB Seedling Evaporator Kit from the Vermont Evaporator Company.
I stopped in to see these guys unannounced a couple of years ago and even though they were busy they took time to not only explain everything to me and answer my questions, but also gave me a factory tour! They are awesome!
Thanks, Shane! Hoping for another great season this year!
What would happen if I added a piece of sheet metal across the opening that you cut out for the pan? To protect the bottom of the pan and to stiffen the barrel structure?
By the way, very nice video. Thank you.
Hey John! There's no need to stiffen the barrel structure, AND you actually want the fire licking the bottom of your sugaring pan for good heat conduction, so I wouldn't add that piece of sheet metal. Thanks for the question and the compliment!
Can you build this with the sapling kit ?
Hi! We don't have a Sapling Kit, just a DIY Seedling Evaporator Kit. However, we have had customers size a Sapling Pan to a barrel with the help of a Sapling Stack Flange. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions!
That’s a great video, I have 100 large maple trees flagged for my first season this year I’ll be happy to tap 45-65. The pan you have do you sell those? I like the one large pan vs two smaller
Thanks! We sell two sizes of baffled pans for sugaring, a smaller Seedling pan and a larger Sapling pan. We also offer a warming pan that attaches right to the larger Sapling Pan. Check out our website: www.vermontevaporator.com or drop us an email info@vermontevaporator.com for more information!
@@vermontevaporatorcompany thank you will do
Are there more videos of this series?
@boylercn78 Hello! We have another, larger evaporator build video on our channel called Assembling the Mini Sportman Maple Syrup Evaporator, and can be found here: czcams.com/video/ds8RxZXpQXE/video.htmlsi=yU-QM_Af9omAO_-S We also have a bunch of other videos to help you get started making your own maple syrup. What other sort of videos are you looking for?
@@vermontevaporatorcompany I was hoping you’d have the videos showing how to complete a barrel evaporator as that’s what I’m building
Hey@@boylercn78 ! This is the only video we have on how to make a barrel evaporator so far. Were there steps you were hoping we would show that we didn't? We'd be happy to reprise!
@@vermontevaporatorcompany I was hoping to see the process of laying in the pavers and making an arch or baffle design. I’ve been able to answer my questions via other videos, but was just curious as to why you didn’t show the whole process from start to finish.
Got it! @@boylercn78 We consider bricking the inside to be optional, and so that's why we didn't include it. But yours is a great idea for another video. Thanks! Keep tuning in!
