You can make it in a big pot over a wood fire, but it takes so long to boil off the water the syrup you make will be dark, "grade B" syrup. Likely not going to taste like the syrup some professional gave you. Unless your sap is unusually high in sugar content. Getting the water out fast is the key to clear, grade A. That is why pros use reverse osmosis and fast evaporators. If you have a lot of hard and/or black maples and really want to make it yourself more then once, a small evaporator is the way to go.
I cannot say I see a huge difference between some fake syrups and the real thing and I made syrup for many years. Years back, L.L. Bean got busted for selling "Pure Maple Syrup" that was made from sugar beets and had NO maple content yet it tasted very good. As I recall they got caught because a large group of Canadian syrup producers had L.L. Bean investigated.
