What happens here

This project demonstrates the traditional process of making maple syrup, starting from tapping maple trees and collecting sap through a tubing system, transporting it to a 'sugar shack' where it's boiled down in a large evaporator heated by wood, then further reduced in a finishing kettle heated by propane, and finally bottled into Mason jars for storage.

You ever wonder how maple syrup's made? Come with me. All the sap runs down the line. And we have We have 32-gallon buckets right there that collect all the sap. Multiple different buckets along the property. I'm going to take you guys in the sugar shack where we where we boil it down. So, walking in the sugar shack here. We got our main fire. Fan. Just some used waste oil. Our bucket that comes down and drips sap right into our tank here. And it runs through. All the steam leaves up through this 6-in stovepipe here. Got a little condensation rails. Once it gets down to what we want there, we drain it off of here into a larger kettle. That larger kettle is this right here. You can tell this is finishing finishing up. After this starts rolling brown, we dump this in the mason jar, seal them, and it's good to go.
