Visiting The NHS "SUGAR SHACK" With Our Fourth Grade Buddies..

Mr. Breene explained how the EVAPORATOR worked..
The big round cylinder shaped tanks hold all of the sap that has been collected from the buckets that were hung on the maple trees. Soon it will all be boiled slowly in the evaporator.
The water in the sap evaporates through the hole in the roof of the shack, while a hot fire keeps the sap boiling!
