16x24 Sugar Shack Set Up 2023 Season

Perhaps this video may help someone think about how they might want to construct and set up their sugar shack. We are running 330 +/- taps this season. The sugar shack is a 16’x24’ building with 6/12 scissor trusses sporting a cupola at the ridge. Out sugar shack consist of a 400G sap tank out side, Leader Micro 2 RO, 300G concentrate tank, permeate tank, Smoky Lake 2x6 Raised Flue evaporator.

Thank you for this video. I built mine almost identical to yours only slightly bigger. And yes….. I made my sliding door 10ft high. Great setup👍

Nice size building and evaporater

It's the perfect size sugar house, your entire setup is really nice. Just tapped yesterday here in southern ohio, not planning a big season this year so only put in 150 of the 400 we have. It's flowing like crazy right out of the gate, gonna be some late nights.

That’s mint- I’m half way there- we r.o to 7-8 % and boil with a flat divided pan but I’m envious of the Smokey lake equipment…

Very helpful video. Thanks

Great set-up! I am jealous, but I think my 2 Black Walnut taps will never know the difference. :)

This is a very similar setup to how we got going. Ran a 2x6 D&G for several years. I wish I would have kept it... there is always a project that makes life easier in the sugar shack. That's the fun part for me.

Very nice set up. I see a Smokylake hood and preheater in your future 😏. Generate your hot water and increase the boiling rate.
