Everything is coming together perfectly for Maple Weekend. The vacuum is pulling 26” at the releaser and 25” at the farthest tap. The evaporator is boiling 40-50 gallons per hour (not bad for a 2x6). And I have 450 gallons of sap ready to boil. I only have room for another 200 gallons before Saturday, and then the tanks will be overflowing. Then I think I am finished for the season. I will move on to my next project, the family. My wife’s due with our first child in two weeks.
Wish me luck!


p.s. My wife doesn’t like the names Amber or Fancy.

How about Scortch or Screech?

I know I screeched a couple of times loading wood. Man that box gets hot :lol:

Kessa won! I wanted to do “Amber Gold Jeannotte” but I would have to ask Josh first. But when we said Kessa we both said that’s it.
