Don't you think the next batch will be bad too?

We took a 2X4 flat pan and did exactly what you are thinking.
Better get ready Mid-Michigan I smelled a skunk this morning on my way to work around the Portland area.
In 2012 we had our 1st. boil on 2/18. We boiled 13 times that year and was done on 3/11.

The one behind me has been used before for sure.

Lots of people were pulling off to the side of the road when they seen me coming. It was one of the more interesting moves that we have made.
Gonna use this for a wood shed next to my barn/shack. Anyone using one. I'm going to put it on an elevated deck with space between the boards for air circulation.12522
