[Syrupmakers] Steam Kettle Conversion

[Glenn Johnson]

Will the oil be able to handle that much heat. Have you though about runing hot water. You can find hot water pumps easly, they use them to move hot water in heat sustems. What temp are you going to run?

 Recently I purchased a 150 gallon Pfaudler, open top, Steam Kettle. It looks like my cast iron syrup kettle except it is stainless steel and is jacketed.I want to try and use a remote, propane heated, thermal fluid heater.  My plan is tocirculate the hot oil instead of circulating steam.  All components except a hotoil circulating pump will be home made. Has anyone done anything like this?Any information about how to do this modification will be appreciated. The kettlewill be used to make sorghum syrup using the batch method.
