Trempealeau County

Tapped trees a month early this year based on weather reports, and I’m glad I did. I’m still 2 weeks away from when I tapped last year and I’ve already matched my total 2023 production. Get a break the next couple days to catch up and then it looks like good flowing weather again!

Upgraded from concrete blocks to a Smoky Lake Dauntless arch and can’t believe the difference! So much faster to heat up and shut down, and uses a lot less wood to boot.

So did you buy a flat pan or did you buy the flue and syrup pan option?

I bought the flat pan and lid when I was cooking on blocks and will stick with that setup for the time being. The hybrid pan looks neat, though.
