We thought we had it tough lol
Making corn syrup
Dominion and Grimm near me sells 10 lb bags
everyone else around here only sells 50lb bags
Thanks all
I have a question about using DE
I have never used it, I filter with cone felt filters
would using DE help?
If yes most of my days end with 7 or 8 litres of syrup
How much DE would I put in...
I just picked up the wine filter for 70.00
Does anyone think the electric motor will work for syrup?
any ides an where I could find a hand pump?
just wondering why they convert the electric pump to a hand pump
Hope everyone has a very merry Christmas
Can't wait to see a finished picture of this road warrior LOL
Very nice
Hope you enjoy it
Very nice, enjoy it
Fired up the new evaporator this weekend
It is a Thor 18x48, drop flue, with float box
it went really well
Ran it for 2 hours and boiled off 36 gallons of water
The float box worked really well,...
No i mean canning like cans
The round ones and a canning machine

Is it hard?
what is pricing like?
just a question
When you have a flue and syrup pan
Does the sap flow between them freely?
For example if you draw off the syrup pan does it fill up from the flue automatically?
Or do you need to...
You guys might find this to be a strange question
The flue pan, the syrup pan , the float box, the pipes connecting the pans
this all sort of scares me
I just boil with 2 pans, move it from...
Here is my question
My sugaring is a hobby, made 14 gallons this year
I boil on a barrel evaporator I made 3 years ago
I can only boil on Saturdays as it is at our cottage
This year I found it...
I wonder if they would work 349.00

Drop tubes really help
I am getting close to 12 gph with mine

It's funny many here want the light colored syrup
My family and freinds prefer the dark, we all find it has a much more pronounced maple flavour
Whatever floats your boat,
When you have no $$$ you make do with what you have
Sometimes it is just about having a good time, get the family outside have a few beers and laughs
It will work fine , I have used this to boil down sap for 3 years now
Just have a good fire in it to burn the paint off before you boil, in 3 years I had to replace the stack once LOL
...
Great stuff
have fun
Very Nice!!
I agree if you can make a drop flue give it a try, doesn't cost much & really improves your GPH
I made this one last year for about 30.00 boils like a SOB
It sounds like a purring V-8 engine LOL
...
I ran a sander over the barrel to remove most of it
but I also insulated it very well
The high heat paint is awesome still all there after 3 seasons

here in Montreal we have plenty of snow
plus they are announcing -35 celsius for the nest week or so
Spring is but a dream for us LOL
