Maple Sugar Starter Kit, Silver

Easy enough read and do. I just tapped 5 trees and when sap started flowing the buckets were almost full daily . Waite no more than 48 hours before boiling down .If you get warm weather you might ruin you sap. I worked in 5 gallon batches then through the sixth gallon in and boiled down outside until I got to 1/4 of the way down . This is easy. Just boil for hours . The darker the sweeter. And if you do part over a wood fire you get a smoky flavor as well. Awesome!

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas so he could try his hand at maple sugaring.....to say the least it was the best Christmas present ever and very well received! He was so excited as was I to find this kit so complete and well thought out for beginners. All your questions will be answered with the enclosed book and I look forward to using this come later this winter/early spring. Thank you for making such a great kit!

Shortly after moving into our house we found we had two full & heathy sugar maples in our back yard and being a big DIY family figured why not make our own maple syrup! So after a little research I found this wonderful kit that comes with everything to get started for a reasonable price. Great sturdy buckets, lids & spiles on top of We are anti-plastic so finding this aluminum set was a bonus.Orginally purchased in the fall and Now that we are finishing the last of our first sap flow, I can honestly say it's well worth the investment. With only two trees we made about 2 gallons of syrup which blew my mind! Ended up purchasing a outdoor turkey fryer type burner because of the large amount of sap we had to boil down, I was a little overwhelmed but very pleased with the harvest.In the end I highly recommend this kit and suggest a few other things, maple specific filters(we used giant coffe filters this season but will be upgrading to make it easier next time) 5-10 gallons of storage for the sap because trust me you'll need it, we use a 5 gallon carboy which was used constantly but will be getting a second one for next season, and bottles for the finished syrup....it comes fast so have enough ready!

Was disappointed that the box had description of item all over it as it was a gift for my husband and he saw it on delivery.

the Kit looks great. Not stainless steel, so be aware that they are made of alluminum which is still sturdy, but not as much. It wouldn't hurt if the lids had an edge to them to keep them from sliding away from the buckets and not covering. Overall, great kit. Looking forward to years of use.

Easy to use and love the book it comes with. 1st time doing this and had a blast and got delicious syrup.

I love these things. Much better than my "plastic spiles with plastic hoses running into a bucket" method from last year. This is my second year collecting sap, and these make me feel like a professional. Excellent quality.

Harvested my first batch of maple syrup with nothing more than this kit and the book. Very satisfied and satisfying!
