I received an automated update to this discussion and had forgotten all about it. I still stand by my numbers today but admittedly have out grown the whole make it yourself thing. Currently at 300...

OMAFRA is not obligated to pay for the syrup they take for testing. They do it as a courtesy to the producer. Allan, 0 lead is what we need in the maple industry so for that I thank you. The 75%...

Thank you Kim. The "other site's" policy is the same and includes several back links as it always has. No idea where all of this came from but glad to see it resolved.

PS. Remind Chris I'm...

Still hangin around red maples... and the web site review offer still applies to anyone that wants the help. The online stuff is no longer my business but rather a hobby and I've just signed up for...

Bummer! Wish I knew you were on the bus... I would have gone looking for you. I think the tour was really well done and it was nice to see such a diversity between producers. They ranged from all...

Thanks cvmaple but I'm done as mod here. The bug avatar was not intended as anything more than a bit of fun after working on a ton of graphics for a maple producer's website. I can do graphics but...

Of course and I didn't mean to diminish the impact this insect has on forested areas because it is serious. What I was referring to is that resent information released from some forestry...

Misery loves company and you are welcome to join our company. :D

The most recent articles I've read implied that ALB is not quite as devastating as first projected but still a serious threat to maple trees. Give me a day and I'll post some links for you.

Just wondering... what about freezing it?

Daryl sells new ones for $750. I would be interested in the $500 range for a used one but in all honesty I think you could do better with the larger hobby producers. List it here and on...

It would really depend on your volume. How many gallons of finished syrup are you looking at processing each season?

Williamstown is North of the 401 between Cornwall and Lancaster. Just be sure to check if they still have room on the bus before planning on attending and let us know if you are going. Always cool...

The original post in this thread was asking about 10~15 year old dead pine... some of which was on the ground. If the trees had died a year or two ago I would recommend the wood but not at over a...

Just wondering if any other Traders are planning on attending the Eastern Ontario Tour on the 15th of October? If so, my wife Merna and I will see you there. If you are in the area and not familiar...

Way to go! Everyone scared off Tommy Sunshine.

Tommy... even though we act like a bunch of North-Eastern Fruit Loops obsessed with a Northern crop production... we can be kinda fun once you...

This is a good question but I don't want to get too far off topic so i will simply say... I'm running the evaporator. Brent raises a good issue about the flues though and I will have to check what...

You are US based so for the where to buy part I recommend Grangers;

As far as weight goes I remember an...

Currently running 75 taps with lots additional taps available. I sold out at 75 taps between my make your own syrup customers and direct sales and had to buy another 10 gallons of finished syrup. I...

Taken care of Rob... and to answer your question, I wouldn't bother with it if it's old and decaying. I haven't used it in my rig but based on the fire pit it has always been far more work to keep...

Okay... so I guess the next part to my question would be if it's better to change out a hobby flat pan to a flue or go to the next size evaporator (not figuring in any future growth). Help me out...

Keep me posted on that one too Sam.

As long as we're posting our wish list... I'd like the option to attach a photo or two to private messages. I don't know how many times I've either wanted to share an image or asked for one and...
