Big Pine how big and where did you get the bucket RO. I think I need to go that route next year(too many late nights) I can only cook about 6 to 8 gallons per hour. We finished with 32 1/2" gallons of syrup on 100 taps.I didn't test sap at the beginning but the last 4 -5 batches sap was running at 3 to 3.2 percent
