Hey Charlie, just wanted to drop you a line. Got the evaporator, painted it, assembled it, and test fired it with some water and wow! Great product, super happy with it, perfect for my needs. Thanks for making sugaring more accessible with your price point and quality product. Went together easily with nice thick steel and well thought out design. Thanks again!!
I originally ordered the Bassett Barrel Evaporator, but upgraded to this unit instead. The craftsmanship on this model is amazing. The instructions are easy to follow, and assembly is a breeze. For years I had been boiling my sap on a hotel pan using a turkey fryer burner. This 24 X 18 evaporator changed my game. What used to take hours to get a rolling boil now takes 30 minutes. Charlie was great, and helpful every step of the way. I cannot recommend this unit enough. 10/10
I ordered a 24 X 18 Flat Pan Maple Syrup Evaporator from Charlie at Bassett Maple Co. As promised, one month later I received the evaporator in two well-packed boxes. I decided to partially assemble the arch before painting to find out how well the parts fit together. All pieces fit together well and the bolt holes lined up perfectly. I cannot wait to paint and fire up the evaporator when the sap starts to flow. I want to add that Charlie was friendly and prompt in fully answering my questions.
