What happens here

Sap is fed into the evaporator from an overhead bucket, dripping directly into the main boiling pan. The video shows the sap actively boiling and producing a significant amount of steam. This steam is then directed upwards and out of the sugar shack through a 6-inch stovepipe. The creator also highlights condensation rails that are designed to capture any steam that condenses on the hood, channeling it away.

Goal: Monitor the sap boiling and steam management

Tools and materials

  • 6-Inch Stovepipe — Ventilating steam and exhaust from the evaporator and fire
  • Condensation Rails — Collecting and diverting condensed steam from the evaporator hood
  • Main Evaporation Pan Custom-built — Holding sap during the primary boiling process
  • Overhead Sap Bucket — Gravity-feeding sap into the evaporator pan

What they say

Hide

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.
