930.0. "Stainless steel pans" by 2HOT::EISENBERG () Fri Jan 07 1994 14:26

    Sorry if this is the wrong notesfile, but it sort of has to do with
    woodstoves....

    I'm looking for a source for rectangular stainless steel pans about
    1.5 x 3 feet, by about 8-10" deep.

    I have an old woodstove that I'd like to use outside to boil maple sap
    for syrup and need a pan to fit on top.

    Anyone know a source for this or somewherer who might be able to make
    one?

You might also try a magazine like Vermont Life or Country Journal.  There 
are suppliers to the ma and pa maple sugar industry.  Also, if you are ever 
in sugaring country, you might try a hardware store.

re: .0

Ten or fifteen years ago my Dad wanted to do exactly what you're after back
in Upstate New York. He had his custom made by a welder. The thing will
last forever. The welder also customized a "stove" for him from a 55 gallon
steel drum. Took a slice off one side and reinforced it with some steel
angle - made an opening just big enough for the SS pan to fit in/on. Welded
a flange on the back to take some 8" stove pipe and cut as large a rectangular
hole as he could on the front for a hinged door. You can fire the thing
up with three foot logs. Works great.

    save yourself the trouble & money.  Go to your local recycler and check
    out the old fridges..   grab a couple of enameled metal "meat" or
    "crisper" draws, clean them thoroughly, and boil away.  Mom's been
    doing it that way for ~20 years.

    sounds like a good (cheap!) idea.  I'm sure the dump guy can help me.
