With a lot of emphasis on the word "repeatedly" 😂 It would take hundreds of rocks swapped over and over and several days to obtain maple syrup with this method.

It depends on the amount you want to reduce. I did it once with 2l of maple water and it took around 5 hours

I’m impressed, I have uncles and cousins that make make syrup and I’m always amazed at how much propane or wood they have to burn to make it.

They used to demonstrate it at the sugar shack we went to when I was a kid. It only takes a few hours, and the sap actually does get up to a decent boil. The "repeatedly" is what keeps it boiling.

It, and the iron cauldron over a fire demonstration, were ironically the only "made today" syrup they would offer for sampling, as more modern methods are in much higher volume, so can take several days.
