WOW, what a run! I've got 7, 5 gallon buckets with 14 taps and since yesterday I've collected over 100 gallons and by the looks of things that will jump up to 150 by this afternoon. I'm kinda glad I pulled my first taps of the season. I know for most of you guys this doesn't seem like squat, but for my little rig it's a hefty number to be in the hole with!
I can typically produce a gallon of really good syrup in about 20 hours, so you do the math. Lol!
Anyway, next year I'll be ready! I've got a buddy that is in the hvac business and he is getting me a natural gas, 6 burner, industrial stove. That oughta do the trick! For me anyway because right now I'm using a small, apartment size 4 burner, natural gas stove.
