    This evaporator is rated for 3 – 28 taps.
    Estimated evaporation rate is 6.5 – 8+ gallons (with Smoky Lake Flat Pan).
    It will take 4.1 gallons of sap to fill to 2″ depth in a 16″ x 30″ pan.

    The StarCat Maple Syrup Evaporator packs a surprising punch. This feisty, high-efficiency wood-fired evaporator is capable of 8 gallons per hour evaporation rate. The StarCat is a breakthrough solution for the backyard hobby maple syrup producer who wants an affordable, yet highly effective, machine to process maple sap into maple syrup. As with all of our Evaporators, the StarCat features an air-tight front and air-tight loading door to maximize firewood efficiency and evaporation rate. A precision draft control allows you to throttle combustion air and shut down completely if necessary. The Arch (firebox) of the StarCat will come to you in a series of cardboard crates. You will need to assemble the arch and paint it, all hardware and special spray paint is included. All Ceramic Fiber Insulation for inside the arch and door will be included in this package. The only thing you’ll need to add will be exactly 20 firebricks. No brick cutting will be necessary. Other than the 20 firebricks which you can buy from your local home store, this is a turn-key arch.

    If you need pans for this arch, we recommend ordering the Complete StarCat™ Evaporator. This page is for the Arch only.

    Please call us for Preassembled StarCat Arch options. ($200) 920-202-4500. Limited supply available.

    Pneumatic Tires for StarCat or Dauntless

    Pneumatic Tire Set (Straight Runners), For StarCat or Dauntless

    Free Shipping in USA. Contact us for discounted Canada Shipping.

    This is a handcrafted item made just for you!

    The Pneumatic Tire Kit is an easy solution to transport your Smoky Lake evaporator through just about any terrain. If you boil sap outdoors but need to wheel your evaporator into a building when you’re not using it, this is for you. If you keep your evaporator in one building but seasonally transport it to another location — and back again, this is for you. The Pneumatic Tire Kit can also be left on your evaporator while using it, raising it to an even more comfortable height. Tons of convenience and versatility. Bolted on in only a few minutes!

    Please note: This type of wheel kit does NOT swivel. They are “Straight Runners” which means you will point the evaporator in the direction you want to go, and roll away. Never try to force pneumatic tires to turn.

    1. Jeff East –

      Beautiful pan, easy to assemble arch. All set and ready to go for the 2020 season. Can’t wait.
      Thank you Smoky Lake.

    2. david –

      Arch well built and very durable. Just wish there were pan holders like you have for the heater pan. I guess most use insulation though.
