The evaporator was new in 2019 and used for two seasons. I packed all this away after the 2020 season and we moved to Nebraska. It has been in storage for 1 year and then sitting in my insulated garage for the last 4 years. I’m 70 and will not be making syrup any more.
I can send a complete inventory list upon request.
You will need to provide your own 34” x 18” arch or a backyard cement/cinder block arch. Search Google for “How to Build an Evaporator (from stuff laying around)” and you will find instructions on how to build one plus many youtube videos on the topic.
