Nice job 👍
Good to see the evaporator boiling away. Your learning it. Enjoy Your vids.
My dad built up a nice system with his new evaporator, now he's dialing in a RO system to cut down boil time even more
RO systems are super cool. I’m thinking about expanding to even more taps next year and building a small system.
Done deal!
Looks like that contraption is efficient!
Thanks for taking the time to make this vid! Shared on FB.
I produce maple syrup too, but the part of this video I enjoyed the most was your daughter helping. Boy do I miss those days! Enjoy it to the fullest my friend, she’ll be asking for the keys to the car before you know it. Video shared.
Awesome video. I hope this gets better for you. Our weather here in ME and NH has been cold again. Looking forward to warm days and cool nights
Where did you buy your pan from? Looks like it’s doing great
I’m in nh too! And just starting our little homestead! I love watching your videos ☺️
Windy is to put it mildly. It sure did feel like March the last couple of days.
In like a lion, out like a... well, still a lion.
I’d love to try that syrup
😎👍
Keep up the good work. I love maple syrup making. Been doing it since I bought my farm 6 years ago. Every year I've improved the process. Reach out if you have any questions. I'm in NH also so our production should be similar. Thanks for sharing. Marc
Sadly, I don't have a facebook account.
Love pure maple syrup, the process is so interesting.
Awesome job
Shared it. Hoping to do our first boil this weekend
Yo! Like the set up! 24x21” pan? Custom made? I have the same set up with a 24x18” flat pan, fits the barrel well…looking for a divided roughly same size…where’d you score that one?
Check out Smokey Lake Maple Products. I just picked up their 16"x30" flat pan for my barrel set up. They are very knowledgeable if you have any questions. They talked me out of their 24"x24" divided pan because it's not long enough to develop a good gradient and the pan size I bought will keep a more uniform heat in it because it covers more of the fire below.
Videos like these give inner piece to a city-dweller like me
YuM yUm I love maple syrup on buttered biscuits. Hope I win that bottle. Good luck to all. God bless Stay safe!
I don’t have Facebook what about Instagram people
Looking good! I'd love to try doing syrup from my many sugar maples but I'm sceeeerd 😅👍
Looks great. Shared!
I shared this on Facebook. I hope I win some of Emma's New Hampshire Maple Syrup. That is a very powerful evaporator. Thank You for sharing your wholesome content, experiences, and Kubota mods. The amazing lifestyle your showing Emma will be with her forever.
Shared and entered 😉. Thanks again for the vids, definitely learning from it and looks a lot better than my steam pan over a turkey fryer 😀
That evaporator looks pretty nice, it’s tempting me. Plus it’s multi-purpose, maybe you could build a pizza oven contraption that would also sit on top 👍🏻. Great video Jack, it’s 9:30 am and I’m hungry for a pork chop, guess I’ll cook some bacon instead 😂
This cold is for the birds 😒
*AND IT'S A GRILL!*
HA!
Love it!

Dang, it didn’t even really cross my mind the capacity needed to keep a tray like that rolling. Looks like you got one hell of a seal around the pan. You’ll have to send me some pictures of what you did. Bet my syrup is a tad more Smokey than yours hahaha
Why are you melting ice to get into the pan? If part of your sap freezes in the bucket, there's no sugar in the ice. All the sugar is in the part that didn't freeze. Throw the ice on the ground.
That’s actually a myth. Ice from buckets has tests upwards of 2% sugar. When you are a small operation like us, every bit of sugar counts. If we threw away 5 gallons of 2% ice, that’s equal to 2.5 gallons of 4% sap.
@@TheMindfulHomestead True, it is a myth. At sap concentrations the freezing point depression gradients do not justify throwing away that much resource.
I guess by her reasoning, you should be able to freeze an entire bucket and have pure syrup left in the middle of the ice block.
What is the size of your pan?
21”x24”
Woo hoo! I shared this video to FB. Pick me to win a bottle of your fresh maple syrup!! ❤️😉
What ever u do..DONT EVER boil inside. It will coat your sealing.. do a drip system for sap when you take surgical tube. Place in a pail up high and let it run free flow into your pan.
