we were missing a couple pieces and screws but we figured it out!

Absolutely the best mini evaporator for the back yard hobby sugar maker. It is easy and intuitive to use and I have spent countless happy hours sitting in front of the evaporator while making syrup.

Love the sapling. And it looks so cool! Can’t wait to do my first boil in a few days!

It looks even better in person. We selected this evaporator partially due to its shape, and we were blown away by the quality. This will make a fine centerpiece for our annual sugaring party.

Unit works as it should, but had a few issues. 1: the evaporator pan didn’t fit the opening and I had to use my 3 pound dead blow to open it up more. 2: not enough self tapping screws for the chimney pipe so I had to go buy more. 3 the door hinges had to be drilled out in order for the door to close, my biggest drill bit was not quite big enough, so it still takes 2 hands to open and close. 4: instructions say to use lock washers, but they weren’t included in the bag of hardware.

The Sapling is sturdy, efficient, and well engineered. It has features that make a big difference in operation vs. a full DIY setup without being too complicated or expensive. With add-ons and options it also can be tailored to suit a variety of needs. Instructions were easy to follow and clear.

I like it a lot but there is no way to actually finish your syrup in this pan without totally burning and scorching the two other chambers. Do you have advice? Also I installed heat rolling wheels.. Moving the sapling is difficult because the legs are not that supportive and I think you should include a cross bar underneath for the legs. They are very wobbly with or without wheels and need more support for sure.
