Maple syrup cooker
We have been making our own maple syrup for about 4 years now. The husband built and designed our cooker last year using old elevator parts (hydraulic tank- handrails, fan) and it works like a champ. It used to take us 10-11 hours to cook a batch....now it takes us only 5 hours. We will be cooking down 60 gallons of sap tonight....which will yield about 1 gallon and 2-3 pints once reduced. We typically get about 5 1/2 gallons canned per year from our 40+ tapped maple trees. It's a fun but muddy and sometimes messy hobby! Will post more photo's as we go through the cooking process.
