Hi Martin and thanks for the info. I believe with these items they refer to them as deicers and not really heaters. They turn on at freezing and the sap or water is still cold but not enough to...
Do we really need to use mason jars with Maple Syrup? I have a local supplier I use for my Honey and can get 750 ml jars at a great price. However screw on lids. I know people use plastic jugs but...
Good day everyone. Been awhile since I have logged in but I have a question I know someone in here will have an answer for. I have two caged water totes to store the sap in. I have been looking...
Thank you to all our American cousins that replied. As I had mentioned to John previously it seems close enough to water. It was fun though seeing the converting to Canadian gallons from US...
Hi John,
I checked out your link to your pics. Great job and looks awesome. I also like your finishing remark. We have one big beautiful Country North of the border and we all bleed the...
I have to draw and move sap from another yard and have to get another storage tank to transport it. I am trying to find the average weight of raw sap. I found on the internet the weight of water is...
Well I knew I came to the right place in here. Going to use the vinegar trick and see what happens with my rig. As I also have found out in here there are many, many choices and the trick is to...
First year using my own evaporator. I have the Lapierre, Waterloo, Small 24 x 60 and loved it. I had made inquiries and compared others but they just didn't have the quality I got with this one. ...
I was a bit hasty with my first couple of batches with the new evaporator so I waited until the right temp and took it off. I noticed it is a bit watery but not bad and a nice clear amber colour or...
As usual I came to the right place. Send me in coach.......Jack
Well I have a Lapierre 24 x 60 set up and my big tank of ice has thawed. This is a new evaporator and basically my first kick at it. I have used a friends of mine before and it was a Dominion Grimm...
O.K. If I had a crane and a hot tub I could get my 100 gallons in the holding tank frozen solid for a week up and in it but alas I am watching the thermometer sitting at 1C for a day but still a...
Hi everyone. My name is Jack and I have been a communications worker for 45 years. At present I do all the tech support in Canada for a product manufactured in Colorado and distributed up here in...
I didn't get that one Karen until my wife read it again. Life is about smiles and thanks for making us laugh.
By the way I did a job in your neck of the woods last summer in Halton Hills.
You are welcome nothing but Deere here. Sub compact 1026r, back hoe, bucket, snow blower, 24" and 56" riding lawnmowers, push mower and now the Gator. Cause you know, Nothing runs like them.....too...

It should be easy but I can't find the information. I did see an image icon but asked for a url.
Well thanks for all the help and suggestions. I did find the Never-dull here through a National chain store up here. Only 11 bucks so will give that a try. Interesting though CDL did polish the...
Well that was fast and I thank you. I will see if I can find that up here in Canada. $2.00 down there I suppose in the USA but with our dollar these days I'm sure it's $12.00 here. Too funny,...
Hello folks. I am ready to fire up my new evaporator and hood for this year. Missed all of last year because of the deep winter cold we had and couldn't finish the shack plus out of town for work. ...
Thanks for the replies. He has been trying to convince me but I'm thinking I came to the right place in here. I plan to grow my operation and only want the correct way of doing things and having a...
I have a friend who was taught old school by a mentor of his and he has a practice of adding an egg and milk in the finishing process and then skims off the brown mixture that boils to the top before...
Hello everyone. It's been awhile since I was here. I have some concerns and questions about pumping sap up to my holding tank(s). I have a 55 gallon leg tank on the back of my Gator and a gas...
I am planning on somehow pre heating the sap before the evaporator. Problem is the height of the hood and or stack. My holding tanks are lower than the assembly and have already built a permanent...
