You can make it in a big pot over a wood fire, but it takes so long to boil off the water the syrup you make will be dark, "grade B" syrup. Likely not going to taste like the syrup some professional gave you. Unless your sap is unusually high in sugar content. Getting the water out fast is the key to clear, grade A.

As I recall they got caught because a large group of Canadian syrup producers had L.L. Bean investigated.
