Making maple syrup can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. A turkey cooker would be a good place to start with. Don't use anything bigger than the 5/16 size spouts. The old 7/16 size spouts should not be used on smaller trees. Your wife will generally get better prices on spouts and supplies if she buys from a local supplier who sells to the commercial producers because they buy huge quantities of spouts and such. If she boils in a pan or cooker and just goes by guess on how close to done the syrup is, when you dip a spoon into the boiling syrup and the hot syrup drips off the spoon, it isn't ready yet. If the syrup starts to string off the spoon it's ready to take off the heat. As said below, when it's ready, it's READY to be taken off the heat. Better to quit a bit early and go back and boil a bit longer than to end up with 120 weight gear oil. Of course if she buys a hygrometer, it eliminates the guess work. Good luck.
