Adatesman, Nice setup. Good to see folks sugaring down in Philly. I grew up there and never thought it was possible. I live in Vt now and have all the sap I can tap but reducing on the wood stove gets old. I may copy your design!

Thanks! While wondering the other day on how to build a firebox to hold the trays on the cheap it occurred to me that the grill happened to be exactly as wide as the trays were long, so the mod was quick and easy. The tray closest to the chimney is more of a pre-heater than a boil pan since it doesn't get directly fired. Even so, I was getting 4 or 5 gallons boiled off per hour while needing to only tend a single heat source. Much better than last time, where I was only getting 2 or 3 per hour and was tending 2 propane turkey fryers and a cinder block fireplace.

Hats off to everyone who makes things, thank you for sharing, and thanks to Survival for starting this rad thread.

TGT-looks like an interesting and challenging project. Bet you could create a revolution if you shut down the flow for 2-3 days.

MWD has a year or two of storage for earthquake contingency reasons.
Lakes Paris, Skinner and Diamond.
Still we have to do them one at a time.
The 20's drawings are works of art.

From the splatter pattern, looks like flux cored, gas shielded welds.
The good look is more the operator than the method though.

my building mentor was a surfer whom
lived in his scrapwood cabin at 8000' feet in mexico,
he also did a lot of building in sweden,
the homeland of his beautiful wife.
he taught me to leave reality alone,
and to never wrestle wood,
instead merely complement it's expressive nature
(warps, leans, gaps, bumps, splinters, knots, cracks, holes)
i find challenge in creating a sound structure while
arresting my expectations of perfection.
this is a nineteen thirties cabin that im remodelling..
lookup at the belley of the hips
