Thanks Big Eddy and Jolly. Finished up what I had for sap today. My filter didn't arrive yesterday like it was suppose to,so I filtered with multiple layers of cheese cloth. I finished it to...

We got everything set up this morning. Had to dig the arch and wood pile out after the 18" dumping we got. Started boiling about 1130 am and shut down about 530pm. Boiled off 35 gallons. I was...

Thanks Sugarmaker!

Thank you looking forward to tomorrow!


The pan will set on the 2nd layer of 8" blocks. The pan will catch each side by an inch. The smaller blocks were to set up against the edge of the pan to...

I don't have an avatar yet. That was another person who posted. My pan is 18x34. I have another pc of diamond plate with the 10' stack attached to it. That covers the distance between the back block...

I will do that. I have a chopping block and an axe for that. Figure I will have plenty of time to split while sap is boiling.:cool:

Oh crap, for got to mention I have a sheet of diamond plate to act as a door and a 10' smoke stack for the rear.

1803018031Last Saturday my wife and I built our temporary block arch for this year. The ground had thawed beside the driveway in front of the garage, so I laid a base of sand and leveled my first row...

Ok, being a cone filter, would I stand it up like a hat, or just lay it flat on the rack? I appreciate the help very much. This is my first year and tomorrow will be my first boil.

I do know about Bascoms. LOL. I have been there. It is about a half hour from my house, unfortunately I'm not able to get there, so mail order is my next best option.

Haynes-can you explain how to do this? I have a couple old fridge racks. Thank you

I will be boiling sap for the first time on Friday. I have about 55 gallons to boil. When I am finished and ready to filter, I need some clarification on the cone filtering. I have a orlean filter...

Well, we are just getting started for our first year. We have 3 trees tapped at our house(silver maples) and 3 trees up to our camp property(sugar). Seven taps total. Last weekend we built a block...

Thank you.Very much appreciated!

This is our first year sugaring. We have 7 taps out. I collected sap yesterday and tested each bucket. Our lowest was 2.2 and our highest was 3.0. We tested with a refractometer. Are these decent...

Hello everyone, My name is Aaron and my wife's name is Sarah. I have been posting on here a bit lately. Been a lurking member for a couple years. We purchased a 6.5 acre pc of land for our hunting...

SRATHWELL-That looks awesome! Great repurpose of that file cabinet. I look forward to the progress. This is my first year and I am building a block arch. I work for a company that is always getting...

sbedilion-I think MapleLady meant Pellets as in pellet stove, or at least that's how it was spelled.

I was thinking of building my arch 3 blocks high. Will this work or should it be 2 blocks high like Big_Eddy's build? I was thinking with my narrower pan, my firebox was going to be 16"x20"x20"(3"...

Thanks KJJR!

Thank you Chris!

Could you tell me what size the notch should be. Thank you for a quick response.

Thanks Big Eddy! I will be placing my order today. Will also try and get some more taps out.

KJJR-How long are the dividers? They go the whole length of the pan with a notch, or are they shorter than the length, if that makes sense?

Just a question regarding a pan being made up to fit a block arch. If I had a 18"x36" pan made and wanted to fill from a preheated pan in the right rear corner. Could I have it made with 2 dividers...
