Collected around 75-100 gallons between yesterday afternoon and this morning. My warmer lines were running well by sundown yesterday and the colder ones haven't shown a drop yet. A few gallons from...

Wow, it's been awhile since anyone has posted in here.

We spent a lot of time in the woods this weekend. Some of our punchlist:

- Changing out seasonal taps for CV's on all our 3/16 lines. I...

We didn't get a lot today either, but had plenty to boil all day and still have a lot to do tomorrow too. We are at 25 gallons from out 150 taps. No idea how much longer our season will last.

Last night was my best run too. My main collection point (96 taps) collected over 150 gallons from 5 pm last night to 6 am this morning. My color had moved to dark last weekend, but last night I was...

I sent it to my sales guy Jimmy B yesterday morning. I made up a few e-mail addresses that I thought would be Jik Schumackers, but haven't heard anything back yet.

No. It's new.

Definitely just partially open, and we are being even more conservative because of this issue.

A few other things to add to the equation: Because this is a left-hand draw on an SSR, the pipe that...

I just got off the phone with them. Unfortunately, I've only gotten to speak with Jimmy B. and not Jim. It felt a little like a computer technical support where you are forced to go through a whole...

The subsequent times it has happened have not been the start of the day. It seems to be happening at random with a fully established gradient.

I've been following this thread closely. Thank you for all the great info.

Question on the use of CV Spouts and the strategy for their usage you are describing. Are the same spouts used every...

The first post in this threat also sounds like it may be a theory...

So the issue in my OP has happened a few more times. We get to our draw off point, and everything looks great. We start drawing off and the temperature reading on the thermometer, with its probe...

We started out Dark last week, but bottled Amber all this past weekend.

Collected 400 gallons on 150 taps since Tuesday morning. I'd say our hill is thawed out. Going to be a busy weekend.

I run all 3/16 on gravity with lengths up to 1000' per run, and drops up to 400' per run. 25 taps per run max. Thsi is only my second year tapping, but last year and so far this year, I've...

I’m south facing on a steep hill, so mine go early.

Nate, Are things running much over on the East side of the hill? Gallon per tap or more over on this side the last 24 hours.

Thanks for asking. See here: http://mapletrader.com/community/showthread.php?35347-First-Boil-Near-Burning-Disaster-What-Happened

The second boil went great. And have gotten over a gallon per tap...

Chris, thanks for your thoughts and kind words. You are right about things being hard to see whats going on with lots of steam. We have float boxes and everything was working properly both before and...

That makes sense, thank you.

This all makes a good amount of sense. My thermometer probe is 9" long so it extends towards the middle of the pan, so it is pretty darn close to the hottest area and was touching the burn area....

How would they have gotten off? We have a float box from flue pan to finish pan? Is there something else we should be watching?

Hi All,

So we had our frist boil on our 2x4 Smokey lake, Rasied Flu, SSR last week. It sure can rip.

We were running 2"+ in the front pan, maybe 2.5", playing things safe. We were a couple...

200 gallons collected as of this morning. First boil for our Sugarhouse tonight.

We've started to run pretty well. A few of our warmer lines ran overnight last night, while the colder one shut down. We had about 100 gallons collected as of this morning off from 150 taps, all on...
