I have been having problems with one of my pumphouses this year. Late yesterday i got running again pulling great vacuum. Also this woods has by far the freshest tap holes i have. pulled in an avg of...

I have a section of woods i am going to try this setup on as well. I wonder how different lifts and number of taps would affect this. Said they were lifting 4ft every 60-100 ft. Not sure if this was...

It could be okay, although normally the dry line is larger due to vacuum lose over how long you run it. I would try and map out what you have for lengths and where the taps are, and size accordingly

in my situation i am using and electric releaser. Late last night i installed 2 ball valves in my ladder so that i can shut half of it off if need be. It was starting to freeze when i did so, so i am...

I have the same problem on one of my lines. I have 4 1/2" lines to lift 8ft or so. I have seen the sap flow backwards many times, then all of a sudden it will suck and go all at once. I am going to...

i believe i have picked up about 20 gals an hr from having my stack temp at 580 vs 735ish. Now im thinking i maybe able to nozzle up atleast from a 4.5 to a 5. that would put me at 8.5 gph on high...

Closed air until it started to smoke then added till it cleaned up. Looks to be right about 80 gals per hr. Stack temp was 575. Am I at a point that's good, or maybe nozzle up now?

Alright so that sounds like what i was thinking. I am going to fill in some of the area near the center of my flue pan as i believe i am a lil further back than that. I may experience with turning...

Where should the ramp come flush with flues? Mine becomes flush with the bottom of the flues about 1/2 or 2/3 back of the flue pan. This was one thing i wanted to change the ramp to back it become...

That's what i will do next. Although I have turned my air shutter to only about 1/2 inch open and stack temp was 585 last time I tested it and syrup pan boil really seemed to pick up. So hoping it's...

It's a 3x10 with 7 ft flue pan. I backed the air shutter way down to less than half and now getting a stack temp of 675 and the boil looks good in flue pan and syrup pan looks much better. I don't...

Another thought is should my air chutter b set to wide open when switch over to high fire?

Thats a little different than what i was expecting to see. my burner is def closer to my syrup pan, although yours may be a few inches closer to the front.Although its sort of pointed at a steeper...

I found this picture, and that ramp is what i want to fix im thinking. i want to make a steeper front ramp angle then fill in the rest to bring up close to the front the flue pan. Let me know...

alright. well tonight ill adjust the pressure down and see what that does to the stack temp. When i change to a new syrup pan here in the next couple days. i want to adjust my ramp angle and make it...

I can try that. I'm also gonna try to install a barometric damper and the. Make a steeper ramp angle and make it flush with bottom of pan about 1/3 of way of flue pan. After monitoring it today...

I'm not sure of the exact measurements I guess I forgot to write it down.

Stack temp was 705-715, fuel pressure is 300. The syrup pan starting to boil lil better as gets closer to syrup. Although my overall book rate appears to be way down compared to where I was with wood.

Yesterday I boiled for about 3 hours with fresh raw sap, the longer I went the more the front seemed to boil. Although it seemed like I was only getting about 70-80gph where with wood last year I...

I'm not sure why my last thread got closed, although I have got my burner to fire, it starts smoothly and makes the transition to high fire well I believe. I have a 4.5 80 deg hollow in it. Although...

Well I finally got my burner hooked up and fired. I put a 4.5 hollow 80 deg nozzle. It does seem to start up smoothly and didn't see much smoke maybe in daylight I can tell more out the stack. I...

Is this a burner where I may be able to only run it on low fire and don't need high fire?

I just opened up my first burner and it has a 5.00 45°B. I was thinking I wanted like a 6.00 60 deg. Suppose I'll have to try out a few and see what works best.

Low fire says 100-200psi then high fire is 200-300 psi

I have chose to center my burner in the conversion plate im building so i believe that puts it at 10.25" or so from center of burner to bottom of pan. Looks as if my burner has fixed depth so i wont...
