Hi Bill
I took an old livestock waterer that had a 20 x 40 inch stainless bowl 9 inch deep on top, gutted out the inside and brick lined it with a 1/4 inch steel plate just below the stainless pan. Mounted a 4 foot chimney on one end and a loading door for the wood on the other end. Acid washed the stainless bowl to get rid of all the cow snot.
This is all mounted on a 4 wheel wagon so I can park it out of the way in the off season.
Comfortably it holds 25-30 gallons, as it cooks down I add more sap.
It takes 8-10 hours to boil 40 gallons down to 2 gallons that I remove and finish in a pot on a propane burner or kitchen stove.
