Fuel Efficiency

The 2′ x 4′ Gas fired burner system will consume about 9 lbs of LP per hour at a moderate rate of fire. At this rate the pan will be evaporating around 10–12 gallons per hour.  This is a very efficient way to boil sap with gas!

On maximum fire, the 5 burners on the 2′ x 4′  burner set are capable of consuming up to 16 lbs of LP at which rate the evaporation rate increases disproportionately to about 15 gph.  Moderation and fine tuning are important if you’re using this system as your primary evaporator.  A pressure gauge on the burner manifold makes this quite easy.  Likewise, a marginally lower firing rate will be more fuel efficient, but with a slightly lower evaporation rate.

Discounts

A Full Gas-Fired Finisher Evaporator is discounted for bundling the pan and arch together. Additional accessories also available at discount as described on this page.
