Fire Pit FAQs
Are your fire pits really made in America?

What is a syrup kettle?
Back in the 19th century, the sugar cane industry utilized cane mills to squeeze cane juice into large syrup or “sugar” kettles to boil down sugar cane into either molasses into sugar or sorghum into sorghum syrup. Sorghum is extracted from the crushed stalks of a sorghum plant. It is then heated in a large syrup kettle to steam off the excess water, leaving sorghum syrup behind.
Molasses is the by-product of squeezing sugar cane through a cane mill, then boiled down into a concentrated for that eventually crystalizes into sugar.
How long has Goldens' produced syrup kettles?
Goldens’ Foundry and Machine Company has been in business since 1882 and began producing syrup kettles during the sugar cane industry boom. The kettle sizes ranged from 20 gallons up to 120 gallons. Goldens’ also produced many variations of cane mills. Production lasted until the mid-1950’s.
Back in the late 1800’s many farmers grew sugar cane. Goldens’ Foundry produced cane mills that shredded the cane and separated and strained the sugar juice, then boiled the sweet sorghum in our cast iron syrup kettles that made syrup and molasses. Many of our cane mills and kettles have survived for well over a century!
