Don, those prices are perfect. I sell the 8 and 12 Oz. as well. The same leader oval with handle bottles. The bottles alone are almost a dollar a piece. Plus wood, evaporator, finisher, filters, and...

Had some truck problems, but once I finally got out to the woods to collect, I had nothing but overflowing buckets. It was a warm couple of days. But now buds are starting to swell real good. Luckily...

I was running one the same way as you all season. I them found a iron pipe, capped off 1 end of a 2' section. Then cut slits in it with a angle grinder. Then put it in the bottom bung hole under the...

I use some New Gen Yukon Charlies. They have the plastic clips, and bindings, but have never frozen and broke. A very very good movable shoe. Last winter, after a 3+ foot lake affect storm, I was...

Had a good Monday, Only got down to 33 Monday night. So Tuesday was a bit slow. Getting down to 31 here tonight, so hoping for a bit of a better Wednesday. Getting back into the 20s Wednesday night,...

With how bright the sun was shining today, i thought what the heck. I threw a few of many taps in, and to my surprise, i got a light run! Even with the 20 degree tempetures, i guess the sun was...

Pulling mine this evening here in West Michigan, Hasn't been a bad year, but from the winter, it is not what any of us expected. We got down to freezing last night, and the buds recessed. Fingers...

This is what I did with mine... I went to Lowes, or Menards and bought a 6 inch starting collar. It is just a collar with tabs. You find it with the duct work. Its galvanized, but you can get it for...

Call up your local Quick Lubes, and they will tell you the company that they get there oil from. The oil company will be more than likely to give or sell you one.

Boy did it run today! Planning on tapping the rest, and making my first batch of wednesday. Had great flow today.

Got about 20 taps out today, it was cold, (at or below freezing) And was dripping quite well. Since about noon, I have collected about 2.5 gallons. we'll see what tomorrow holds.

Ill be tapping half my trees this thursday/friday, and doing the rest of them probably in the middle to end of next week, depending how the flow is from the first half. Getting super excited for the...

Next week, we're going to have 5 days in a row above freezing, but only 2 days in the 40s. Should I Maybe tap in the beginning of next week? Or hold off until march?

Now whats the deal with new plastic trash cans? I see a lot of people using them, and just wondering about them.

It did, however, I am running 2 pans horizontal, and dont have enough room for it with the pans. I need to run it out the back of the barrel. The attachment that they supple is rounded for the curf...

Could I leave the 4 inch inlet, then use a coupler and make the 4 inch into 6 inch? Or would it be for the best just to change it to a 6 inch inlet?

I have been addicted to Wranglerstar videos for months now! But I have never seen the Plumb one. Time to search! :)
