We tapped late this year (last weekend of Feb) and didn’t have our first boil until March 3rd and was worried about 10 days ago that the season would end early. This last snowstorm and the following...

I used to get 60-65 gph boiling rate on my old 2x6 with good wood, filling the firebox about 10” under the pans. This was an airtight arch with AUF and raised flue back pan with a rear hood and...

Thanks Dr. Tim! I figured there would be some srt of trade off there.

I would suggest using Conibear 110 traps to tame down the population. Easier than using a .22, and you’ll get them when you cant see them.

We are upgrading this year from a 2x6 to a 30x8 Smoky Lake Silverplate with their preheater and concentric exhaust system. I like that there will only be one hole in the roof, it’s American made,...

Put 175 out today in Boscawen, weather was perfect out with no wind and between 15-20 degrees out and all of the trees pretty well froze. Hopefully they’ll wake up tomorrow and I’ll have some sap to...

Are there any Leader dealers in New England that have any new steel sap buckets left in stock? I know the Leader catalog states that they are not producing them any more however there may be some...

I just put these in my sugarhouse, got them off Amazon, waterproof LEDs 4’ long and had them installed in about an hour.

Maple flats, what are you using as a barrier under the metal? Just 1” thick pine sheathing with nothing between that and the metal, or using bituthane underlayment? Or is there another alternative?...
