made 17 pints today

Well the weatherman has lied to us again. We had no freeze last night.. So I gathered up all of my sap. Produced 17 pints. The new arch was boiling off about 15-16 gph. I was hoping for more out of a 2x6

Looks like somebodys off to a good start what was the sugar content

Congratulations! What is you arch and what are your pans?

I honestly do not know what the sugar content was at.
I am using a woodfired forced draft 275 gallon oil drum with a 27x 60. so basically a 2x6+
I have two 275 arches.. one with a 2x4 pan. I ran both for a short time today. But finished it off in the 2x6

I managed another 17 pints today.. For some reason I am stuck on this 17 pint deal.. oh well it will sell to help pay for the new Maple stuff I bought this year.
