My partner and are are planning on going with the shur flo method next year put we are wondering how how we clean our lines at the end of the year
I have been on this sight for awhile now and my partner and i have decided to use the shur flow pump method next year to cut down on our sap picking time. My question is how much drop do my lines...
So it looks like I will go ahead and make a homemade float box as a couple of people said they work but I do have a couple more questions about it, 1 how big of a float box pan do I need? I'm going...
I was recently thinking about making a homemade float box using an animal trough float, is this a good idea? Will it hold up to the heat? I have seen other float boxes made this way and when I asked...
My pan is just a plain 2x5 with no floats and only 1 outlet, I just do this for a hobbie and give some away for presents so I couldn't see the extra cost if all the extras
I bought a 2x5 flue pan from Patrick Phaneuf for around $1000. I used it this year for the first time and it worked flawlessly, some reports on him say that he is very slow in making the pans but I...

Hey Galena I wish I head of known you were looking for sap I bet we poured out 100 gallons when we were pulling out buckets I'll make sure I ask next year
I used to have a lightning brothers 2x4 evaporator and it used to be setup like you described I can't take any pics as I don't own it anymore.
Even though I'm done for the year I helped my neighbour gather tonight and we were at least a gallon per tap I hope he realizes he could be in for a very late night
Thanks for the vote of confidence I think between my neighbour and I we have finished off and bottled somewhere around 23 gallons on 335 buckets. All in all I think we had a great season.
I just pulled down half of my buckets I know it is to soon but I have made 16 gallons just to give away to family and friends so I have made enough. The other half of the buckets I split with a...
Thanks for all of the input I was planning to make a hood and put it under it but after all the feedback I think I'll just stick with copper
I am thinking of making a homemade preheater and a friend of mine suggested that I use the piping for radiant heat flooring instead of copper. It would be a lot cheaper as he has a bunch of it. I...
