Peacemaker,
The rig looks good. You saved it.
Boyd,
Yea the snow is way to much to try to hang tubing in. Just plowing out the drive to the road and around by the sugarhouse took and hour and a half.
Not much happening on maple right now.
Got the Wheelhorse project in process:(
Chris
thanks sugarmaker i saved her
Peacemaker,
How many taps will you put out this year? and what do you estimate the gph on this rig? The pans look really nice.
Chris
i am hoping for 500 taps 300 or more online and the rest buckets
i hope to push 40 to 45 with the blower and then pans are in perfect shape ..2002 and lead free solder
Peace,
Nice looking evaporator and great restoration job. Nice looking sugarbush also. Keep us posted on how the old girl does with the blower!
I'd like to rig up a blower. Are they hard to find? We have a 2x6, and it could be put in right below the grates, I suppose.
We might be able to increase our boil. We can get up to 40 gph now when it's cranking.
revi there not hard to find mine is off a old wood furnace it looks like a heat gun ... i plan on taking the draft door off and making a plate for it ... and thanks WV its a great sugar bush wicked steep though but great for the gravity ... it was cut for a sugar bush over 15 years ago and just begging to be tapped one of my best buds owns the land and sugared it all his life but where i am tapping they only ran like 50 taps on line all was buckets he made 65 gals of 175 taps his last year
Peace,
Funny you should mention steep. Some of my taps are almost straight up and down and it is difficult to tap the trees as you can't stand up without killing yourself. Worst thing is the tree roots, if you step on one you are down the hill and in a hurry. Kinda dangerous, actually.
