Customer Reviews for 2'x2' Flow Divided Maple Syrup Pan w/Valve, Therm, Plugs. Evaporator

I really wanted to give this 5 stars. It is a great purchase, and I am very happy with it. The warming tank is a real value-add. The metal thickness is excellent - not too thin and not too heavy. The welds are all well done. The drain valves are great quality and are easy to use.There are two details that could be improved for that fifth star. The drain valves are slightly above the bottom, so you have to tip the entire evaporator to get most of the liquid out. If the drains were located on the same side, I could slightly slope the whole evaporator to that corner, but they aren't. I have it tilted toward the end for the drains which helps. The thermometer is mounted half way up on the side (too high for smaller batches). When I installed the thermometer, it seated at about the 9 o'clock position (no adjusting it), so it makes reading temps interesting. The thermometer is also in Celsius only (no Fahrenheit) just in case that matters to you.

Looking forward to trying it out next year

Awesome , well made item! Made making syrup easy!

The only disappointing thing about this evaporator unit is that we ordered it too late and it showed up a day after we finished our syrup for the year. HOWEVER...because it is built so well, we are EXTREMELY excited to do our next year's boil and HIGHLY recommend it for anyone who boils their own sap. Order it early, though, because it does take quite a while to get to you.

Item as described. Very well built and should work like a charm! Looking forward to it

It’s mostly what we expected, but the metal is thinner gauge than would have preferred.

Solid pan, well built

I ordered the pan with a divider and thermometer. They sent one with neither of them. After contacting them they made a nice credit to my account. The pan looks very nice. Nice forming. Clean welding. Excellent finishing.

Well made durable evaporator.

Very well-made solid piece of equipment
