Customer Reviews for Maple Syrup Pan 16 X 40 X 4 Stainless Steel Sap Evaporator Tig Welded

This pan suited my needs pretty well and the price was reasonable. One issue I had was the thermometer port was too high. Boiling sap works best when the level is maintained at about 2". The thermometer port was above that level, so I drilled and installed a bulkhead port lower to allow the probe to be about the 1" depth.

Just used my 2' wide x 3' long x 9" deep evaporator yesterday for the first time. It worked great! No leaks in any of the welds or valves. I did check it a month ago by filling it with water to make sure it didn't leak, but I was still concerned what would happen once it was heated on the fire. No issues! I have been using three deep stainless steel steam pans for the past three few years, which worked well, but I wanted to take my sugaring hobby to the next level. What a difference! So much more efficient. I boiled down 45 gallons of sap in about 5 hours or so. It comes with the3/4" draw-off ball valve which I added a 4" extender to and elbow (all 304 food-grade stainless steel) to get me past my cinder block setup and help control to draw off. It also comes with an additional 1/2" ball valve for the other hole, but I added a thermostat instead. Highly recommend this pan for the backyard hobbyist. It is shipped very well with a great deal of rigid foam packing and thick cardboard to avoid damage in the shipping process. It did come a little dirty from the welding process, so make sure you clean yours well before use. "Sugar on.........!"

Nice pan but it is not 1.5mm thick, it's only 1mm thick.

The size and quality is great. Can't wait to make my first batch of maple syrup.

Best price, perfectly sized for our 12-15 taps. Boiling off 2-3 gallons per hour. Third season of use. Very happy so far.

The pan arrived and was very nice, the edges of the stainless were kinda sharp from the shear, filed the edges and went to cooking! The pan did have a have ding in the corner on the bottom seam, most surely came from the shipper.

Awesome product. Worked great Syrup-mmmmm

Great buy. Making the best maple syrup ever!

Thermometer came broken but the rest of the unit is high quality and professional grade. It works well and is quality built.
