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

Delivered timely and used the pan for the first time and boiled for 12 hours worked great. Easy clean up and ready to use again.

This 24x24in syrup pan is by far the best deal on a pan this size. I have three seasons of syrup making and one with this pan. This pan saved me a lot of time and fuel. I boiled about 270gal of sap over a wood stove to make about 5gal of syrup. Finished it inside on the stovetop. I had some concerns that the pan would deform with two weeks of 24hr day fire. It did not and seems ready for next season with a little cleaning up.

This has made my syrup making so much easier. Placed over a two burner camp stove it is easy to bring to boil and large surface area results in fast evaporation.

Works as advertised. I used this to make a wood fired maple syrup evaporator out of a 55 gallon barrel. The pan fit on top perfectly and we boiled down 170 gallons of sap and made four gallons of syurp from trees in our back yard. It doesn't get any better than that. 100 percent natural and the best tasting maple syrup you'll ever have, and we made it ourselves (and you can too). It's not truly a divided flow as was indicated but rather the divider down the middle doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the pan but serves as a stiffener that reinforces and strengthens the pan. I knew this prior to purchase but for small batch operation it doesn't matter. The stiffener was for me was more important and I'm extremally happy with how well it is made. I have a feeling my family will be using this evaporator pan for many many years.

Haven't used it yet but it does hold water - no leaks. The temp gauge is in Celsius Seems to be very durable

Overall a good product. I ran into a 3 items that keep it from.being a 5 star. First was the plastic film up under the lips of the pan. I struggled to get it out and ended up leaving some. This is noted in other reviews. Second was the spigot leaking just a little bit, we need to heavily Teflon tape it to get it tight. This is also noted in other reviews. Third and most frustrating for me was the spot welds in the warming tank brackets burned through and left small holes. I fixed it with JB Weld but that's not great quality or quality control going out the door. Again, those 3 things aside I had a great season with it, the tank and warming tank stood up to direct flame with no issues and I should have many season of syrup making ahead with it.

Could use some handles to help poor last bit of syrup, otherwise great product Could use some handles to help poor last bit of syrup, otherwise great product Could use some handles to help poor last bit of syrup, otherwise great product

Used it 1 time this year. Cooking down on a fire was a bit tricky but manageable. My pet peeve is that the thermometer is in the wrong place and is useless where it is placed. As for the bottom drain it is also about useless. Had to move the tank around just to drain because the straight handle moves in the wrong direction to allow you to open the drain.

Great quality saperator

Only thing didn't like its not a divider in the pan its so it doesn't warp
