Evaporation Rate and Taps
Depending on the condition and style of use, the Sapling Evaporator can evaporate anywhere from 4-8 gallons of sap per hour. (An evaporation rate is the amount of water that boils off of your sap each hour.)
We designed the Sapling Evaporator for ourselves and our fellow hobby sugarmakers. Our recommendations of 5-50 taps are for those hobbyists who collect during the week and boil during the weekend. If you find you have a more flexible schedule and boil during the week, or if you find yourself in possession of an reverse osmosis unit, you can increase your tap count! We have many customers with flexible schedules who use the Sapling for more than 50 taps!
What makes the Sapling special?
Weighing in at 100 lbs, the Sapling can easily be moved around the yard or into and out of a garage or barn at your convenience.
Affixed with stainless steel bolts, the door of the Sapling Evaporator is larger than those found in barrel stove kits. This extra space allows for ample room to load your firebox to the max!
The legs of the Sapling are also taller than those typically found in barrel stove kits. This allows for a more comfortable position when boiling, adding sap, and loading the firebox.
The Sapling Evaporator is made from a new, unfinished steel drum that is powder-coated with high-temperature paint to resist cracking, flaking, and corrosion.
Limited assembly is required to get the Sapling Evaporator up and running. We’ll send you step-by-step directions, with pictures, to help you with this process. And you can watch a video of how to assemble the Sapling Evaporator here!
Durability
We’ve been making evaporators since 2015, and we estimate our evaporators will last 10 years at the very least. With some easy maintenance, TLC, and covering the unit when not in use, we expect most Sapling owners will far exceed this estimation.
Versatility

I just received my evaporator and haven’t used it yet. But it looks and seems like great quality and construction. I can’t wait to use it this weekend for my first batch of syrup
