SECURITY
A wood evaporator can be a dangerous piece of equipment. Always wear gloves and
clothing resistant to heat when operating an evaporator. When visitors come to the sugar
shack, please make sure they remain at a safe distance from the evaporator, especially
the children.
A wood evaporator works with solid fuel (wood) and produces an intense heat in the
front of the equipment and around the chimneys. When the time comes to position your
evaporator, make sure the floor is made of cement or ceramic that is hard enough to
support the weight of the evaporator and its contents. In addition, you must have a
minimal distance of 24" between the walls and the evaporator. If you need to be closer to
a wall, a heat-resistant coating should be installed on the wall. Make sure that each
chimney is not obstructed by a roof truss. A flashing of the right size must be installed on
the roof for each of the chimneys that go through the roof. It is also recommended that
the cabin's ceiling be high enough for you to be able to lift the domes (if applicable)
securely with a system of cables and pulleys.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly suggested to contact your insurance company to make sure your
system meets all safety rules required because each company has different requirements.
