re: How much is a 6’ sugar kettle worth?

a thousand maybe. I've got one. Heavy. Holds 240 gallons of water. Nearest I can figure it is a mid range size. Most sugar houses had 6-7 kettles in a line on brick foundations with fire underneath. Largest kettle got the raw juice, then it was ladled to the next smaller kettle, etc. End product was thick syrup, which was then set aside for crystal formation.
