What is the Best Fuel for an Evaporator?
Posted by FAQ Squad on Jan 6th 2023
You have three options for fueling your evaporator: wood, oil, and gas. The best fuel to use for an evaporator depends on the circumstances in your sugar house. Here's what we recommend:
- Wood is great for fueling for your evaporator, if you have wood readily available.
- If you need fuel trucked in, oil works well to fuel your evaporator.
- You should consider using gas if you can get it piped to your sugar house. With gas, there's no risk of running out of fuel mid-boil.
