Welcome to Trader ohio_j. You will find Maple Trader to be very helpful with whatever questions you have. How many taps do you have?

welcome other Ohio-an. Over in the flatlands there you'll have to figure out your tubing runs, where I am it all just flowsdown hill. Keep reading the trader and asking questions, these guys are really helpful. If you follow the pattern you'll definitely be getting more into it.

I noticed you are from Xenia. I am also from Xenia. Left in 82 to find my way to the Catskills and many maples. Good luck sugaring.

thanks for all the replies ya'll. I had 12 taps last year and used a barrel stove style evaporator. yeah here in xenia moutinavan nice little country house and property. doesn't compare to the catskills tho i bet. Sevencreekssap- i used 5 gal buckets with tubing run to the bucket on the ground. Not enough grade to run down hill to an area. I can't seem to get the classifieds to open for me. Something about there are too many redirects??? any idea what the deal is?? Hope ya'll have a good day and week
