Excerpt from The Maple Sugar Industry The first great change in the actual process Of sugar making came about the middle of the nineteenth century with the adoption Of an iron pan in place Of the Old' kettle. The earliest form Of evaporator was a shallow pan 80 inches wide, 6 inches deep, and from 6 to 10 feet in length. This was supported by a thin-walled fire box Of stone or brick, Nearly the entire under surface Of the pan was exposed to the heat, which resulted in much more rapid evaporation, the use Of less fuel, and the manufacture Of a better quality Of sirup and sugar. Ivith the introduction Of these evaporator pans, buildings for shelter were erected, most Of them very rudely-constructed open shanties. A few lengths Of rusty stovepipe placed at the rear end Of the arch, as the fire box is called, carried the smoke outside. This form Of pan was filled to a certain depth with sap, which, when reduced to a thin sirup, was poured out and the evaporator refilled. In 1865 pans with partitions to cause an alternating ¿ow were introduced. This improve ment allowed the sap to enter at one end Of the evaporator and to ¿ow from side to Side through succeeding compartments, reaching the other end in the form Of sirup, where it was drawn Off into a receiving tank.
