Let me tell you about my operation back in the 80s. A fella I worked with knew someone who built me a SS pan with a fitting in one corner for a valve. It was about 8 inches deep and 32" X 40". I laid an old 80 gallon water heater on it's side and cut out an opening that would just fit the pan and made a door on one end and a spot on the other end where I could fasten a 6" blower pipe for a smoke stack. Around the water heater I put concrete blocks and filled all the openings and the space between the blocks and the water heater with sand to hold the heat in. My sugar house was the back ends of two unloading wagons and some other used lumber and tin roofing. One side said Papec on it and the other said Gehl. Outside I had 2 new plastic garbage cans for sap storage and it was piped inside and I drilled a hole thru the blower pipe smokestack and ran the tube thru the pipe so it would drip into the pan. Seems like it was just below boiling when it hit the pan. I got the ends of Pine logs from where I was working and used that to boil the sap. Good Hot fire. Also had a light socket and a cord to a nearby building so I could read Louis L'Amour as I sat there. Used to make about 7 or 8 gallons a year.
