they both run the same front pan and after losing time this yr on cleanup I had already ordered another front pan made. And now it fits both. I think we can make this work

I know can't be the 1st to think of it. Just bought a 2x8 to put beside our 2x6 we have run for 5 yrs.anyone else try this?
We have the help to run it,the firewood to burn,the extra sap and trees...

I have never broken off a tap in the tree untill I used the cv2's. Out of the first 10 taps I pulled I broke 3. After that I used a set of pliars to rotate the the cv a 1/4 or 1/2 turn before...

Pulled all taps yesterday, lost our sugar content the 30 of March. what I learned this yea;r those taps I put in January 30th ran fine till the end znd a lot of the tapholes are dripping today as I...

We pulled all taps yesterday. Hooked a garden hose on the low end this end,went to high end of main line and started removing taps and letting water run through line as I trimmed sm piece of drop...

our 1st yr on our 2x6 we hung 180 buckets. Since then we done a mix of lines and buckets up to this year of about 325 taps online. I won't start up unless I have over 100gallons in the tank w/ a...

325 taps this year and we are still waiting for the next run. we did run about 16-18 hrs a day but were able to keep up on a home made 2x6 raised flue with a pre heater

My pans have been wet for a week. The only reason we drained them off today was to tear down and clean up. Made some dark syrup last night so time to clean up, did the front pan over the weekend. If...

Anyone else starting a little darker than usual? And having more stuff in the filters? more sap than we can keep up with,hence running all night. sure beats last year!
sap is 2.2%. 1st time I have...

Had a line freeze/break in my pre heater. Took it apart to repair and oh my. Always figured the steam going through it would be self cleaning/ sterilizing. Have not had that apart since I built it 3...

community boil here tommorow. 3 of us all have almost enough sap to fire up; and then shut down as soon as you get a boil going. Pool it all together and pizza will be eaten,tall tales shall be told...

have 5 big 3-4 tap trees that never give me enough sap to justify the effort. but they are road trees and I always figured plowing the road sent the frost deeper than trees just 20-30 ft away

Ran slow the 30th and 31st; made about 1.5 gallons per tap. Will monitor production especially later in the season. If they don't dry up on me in mid/late march I am encouraged and probably would add...

As I said had the front pan changed into a 3 section cross flow pan. Used it last saturday and checked temps in each section. Front was about205 and simmering,2nd was about 211/212 and a slow boil....

Kingsbury NY and yes it is about 4 weeks earlier than I have ever tapped but is an experiment. New line on trees I'v never tapped. All new lines and Leaders new clear check valve taps running into a...

tried to get 100 taps in today, got 70 before the rain came. The later ones were dripping pretty good as I went along. Had a sm steady stream in the tank at 5pm. will finish this line tomorow weather...

got 100 of the new clear check valves from Leader and ran a new line into a seperate tank.Will make it easy to check their performance per tap. Probably put the new drop lines in and tap them this...

Have a chance to add 400 taps on a gravity system about 3/4 mile away w/ the potential for 700 taps. The main lines are in, the laterals are older stuff. minimal cash but a lot of hrs to get that...

I think there is a difference. My front pan is divided into 2 sections parrelell to the flue pan. It is in the shop this week getting changed to a 3 section cross flow pan with the feed going to...

I bought my 14 yr old a 12 gauge single shot and he pegged a couple, but weren't to happy about it. Upgraded him to a 20 ga pump action and he de-squirelled us by at least 50 this summer.Do not see...

we used a dump system one yr when snow was to deep. Used 3/4 black plastic w 3 different dump stations. Dump stations were 15 gallon barrels w/ top cut off. . Occasionaly while close to dump stations...

In kingsbury NY, I have a homade preheater on a 2x6. If I remember right there is about 30 ft of 3/4 copper in it. sap coming out of it somewhere north of 160 * If you are anywhere near me (southern...

we run a home made 2x6 w/ a pre heater and on a REALLY good day we might push 35 gph through it. Over the course of the season I wish we averaged 30 gph. at 30gph I'd be about 35$ per gph

we average under 5 taps per saddle because we have many 2-3-4 tap saddles. But on the upper end of every mainline we have laterals with 10-12-15 taps on them. creative tapping with taps being 7-10 ft...

At work I use some nasty sulfuric acid, it scares me enough I wear a full rain gear suit,18 inch rubber gloves and a face shield. But after adding 2000 gallons of water to the hydro pulper it is ph...
