BUILDING a Maple Syrup WOOD EVAPORATOR at the Cabin! - CANADIAN HOSERS Edition

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Two Canadian hosers build a cheap do-it-yourself (DIY) scrap metal wood burning maple syrup evaporator-boiler using simple hand and power tools - call it the Sapinator 2020. The idea is to make something cheap enough to make maple syrup at the small cabin in the woods. This boiler cost us exactly NO MONEY! In the next video we will produce a pile of maple syrup and run the whole season to see just how much maple syrup we can make. This is our annual tradition to get outside in the spring and enjoy the change in temperature, bird singing and other small blessings of spring. If they don't find you handsome, they better at least find you handy, that's the motto of this off grid cabin build project. Last year our maple syrup evaporator was built using bricks we had laying around the property, but this year we decided to invest some time in re-purposing a metal stove that was in a scrap pile on an adjacent property. I'll show you how to tap a tree, talk about the right conditions for sap flow, the concentration of sugar in sap, how we collect and boil the sap from start to finish! I'll show you how maple syrup is made using a cheap homemade evaporator! I'll show you have to make a homemade maple syrup evaporator for cheap or FREE! Maple syrup runs from 2-7% sugar so you need roughly 40 times the amount of sap to produce the desired amount of syrup. That means you need to boil off a lot of water. Even more if you want to boil down to sugar. It's fascinating to me to produce sugar from sap and this can really only be done in the spring when the conditions are favorable. In order for sap to blow, the temperatures should go below freezing at night and go above during the day. Sap flows into the tree tops at night and flows down. You only need to drill a small hole in the tree and put a metal spiel in to get the sap

Husband & myself stumbled onto your videos last evening, and watched all night, in between the dozing off. Not that the videos were boring, we totally have enjoyed getting to learn of your life there. You, & your family brought fun & joy to this otherwise oppressive time. We are hooked! Courtney & your son are adorable! You guys are about our kids ages. Blessings for a successful year on You Tube!

I'm making a 55gal drum into a n evaporator with 2 buffet trays and a couple hardware store chimney pipes. With new buckets, all the evaporator parts, and taps with lines we have less than -150 in this experiment. Feeling a little in over my head but when a 6 yr old wants to try something that guarantees a full day outside. We'll give it a try.

Well you eat a lot, have you ever thought that you are on lavish ground where gems are in the ground, and that are valuable, try it once, and especially in small and large rivers, no you have and yes you can you get it. Till the next awesome vlog

so when a company sponsors a video, i know you plug them but what do you get out of it, free merch from the company, do you get paid a certain amount? never really thought of what it means when people say its a sponsored video

Did you know that you are on rich land where valuable gems are: Beryl - Aquamarine, Emerald, Garnet - Andradite, Demantoid, Almandine, Hessonite, Spessartine, Jade, Peridot, Smokey Quartz, Citrine, Rhodonite, Topaz and Zicron.

Sheet metal fabricators everywhere were cringing for almost 3 minutes in this video
Edit. If you aren't a sheet metal fabricator you won't understand this comment at all.

I was told by an Amish syrup maker in the mountains of Virginia that it takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. That's a lot of work.
