I used 1/2" lexan on mine. It is on a 8" pipe. works fine.

I'm with you, it does not sound right. Why would someone spend the time to empty a drum instead of taking the whole thing? A million gallons is a very big amount. For example our fire truck can pump...

This info is from Leaders 2012 catalog and the stats are pretty much what jrmaple said. A 2x6 with a 4' flue pan boils on average 30gph and with the steamaway the total you will get 50gph. So their...

coydogs have been known to chew on tubing.

I made a 2'x5' flat pan with dividers once and it boiled about 20gph.

I don't use the compression release because carbon can build up on it, and when the compression release is used the carbon can make it stick open. This may be your problem.

I have heard about thremal shock also. This gets me thinking, we wash the RO until the temp is 115 deg. then do a rinse with 40-50 deg water. This must not be to good for a membrane right?

Here's a releaser the Maple Guys sell, it is more than big enough for your operation. It is good for 500-1200 taps...

What Haynes is talking about is a milk bulk tank for a farm that can hold-up to the force of vacuum, these kind of tanks don't need a releaser but are hard to find and are sold quickly. Most people...

Thats why I feel smaller rigs are harder to run. Things happen so much faster and there's less syrup to draw off (I know I'm not telling you anything new). You've seen my sugarhouse, with all the...

I saw a study about some countries that have banned guns. Guess what happened, yup, after they were banned gun related crimes went sky high. Only honest people follow the rules. Good points on the...

I think the bigger the rig the less you need an auto-drawoff. I love mine on my 2x6 because I only draw off a small amount of syrup but have to do it every 30-40 seconds. I would have no time to do...

Most of the time there is not much flooding do to snow melt because the released of water is slower (unless you live on the lake). Most of the 10+ inches of rain came in less than 12 hours and it was...

My guess on who made the list is a bunch of politicians. This is a great chance for them to get thier face in the paper and try to take credit for something they had nothing to do with. Its a shame.

Well Said!!!

The ones that realy have it the worst can't post on here because thier computer is in thier house that floated down the river. But don't get me wrong, to lose anything you have worked for sucks.

Well, I guess that depends on were you are. Most of the bridges and culvers were overflowing here by 2:00 yesterday. After they were full the water just took out the roads. This is the third time...

[QUOTE=Flat Lander Sugaring;160440]they say there is a link on the barbque guru site but cant find it. I emailed them, waiting to hear back. Like I said I think its cool that it will only open up to...

The one that Flat Lander has a link to is a maple guru. The guy I talked to the other day said they were around $300.

Lock up your syrup! at least these two got caught. http://www.wcax.com/story/15196907/springfield-couple-accused-in-maple-syrup-scam

I was cheering for the little rig on the end. I think the pan was less than 1 foot square.

I use a whole house filter (with clear housing), take out the filter and put a ball in it. This has saved my vac pump more then once.

I made the one I have now. It is a 2x6 and looks like a wood fired arch does. I have a 4gph nozzle on a becket burner that is rated for 3-7 gph. I had a trailer furnace burner at first with a 2 gph...

I put some water from my RO in my syrup pan overnight (after draining the sweet off) and it eats the sugar sand off the pans. It workes as good as a acid wash.

I think this is the temp. controller used on some RO's. I have one works great. http://www.amazon.com/Johnson-Controls-A419GBF-1C-Electronic-Control/dp/B0026N5V3U
