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.
