wagner's sugar camp in PA. I think someone mentioned it here and they knew them. they have a website.
Well that was interesting!!!!
Well I didnt know its a furnace. I learned a few new terms and I already forgot them dang that was a dirty job. That must have been one heck of a camp in its day with all the evap arches in the bldg. Man there was alot of galvanized equipment.
I think they did a poor job on showing how sugaring is done,what was that white crap they poored into the maple syrup? I dont want anything like that in mine,also dont you think the guy might come unglued when the bricks start falling out,I really like the show, always whatch it but expected more I guess when you do it yourself you know?:cry:
Saw the show, not overly impressed, It didn't seem as if the dirty jobs crew was either.
I just saw it. It was pretty good. It was only half the show though. It was a huge woodfired evaporator. They burned bundles of slab wood. His method of starting it shouldn't have been on tv though because he used old baling twine and old paint. It was wagners in PA. He had some buckets and some gravity tubing. No vacum shown if he has any. There wasn't an RO either unless they just didn't show it.
Seen alot of wasted sap due to poor pouring, The drilling of tap holes made me very nervous because he was ovaling the holes. Not the cleanest but very functional. I think they said they tapped 1000 trees. Kitchen setup was very nice.
Zippy its called filteraid and you have had it in alot of things you have consumed. Beer, Apple juice, Grape juice, Maple syrup :o
Sorry I don't share everyone's enthusiasim for Mike Rowe. If I had hired help as clumsy as he is, I would send him down the road. Makes a mess of everything he does...
Wine also. If I had of know how hard it was to filter syrup before I started this hobby I might have taken up something like bungy jumping.Quote:
