Just wondering how peoples new Venturi evaporator performed? Evaporation rates? black smoke from stack? overall noise? overall rating?
I am in the Barrie area and was surprised at how little sap ran over the past few days. Only about 6 litres per bucket over the 3 days and lower amounts on 3/16 lines. I always believe that a rainy...
Tapped about 150 trees, all on 3/16 tubing. Not much slope, but I tap high and still think it flows as well as buckets and a lot easy to collect and clean at the end of season. My spouse made order...
Thanks for posting the pic! Unit looks very nice. It would be great to hear how it work for next season.
Just wondering if anyone boiled on one of these new CDL Venturi Evaporators units this past season. I am looking at a new 2x6 or 2x8 evaporator that has as low emissions as possible and yet has good...
Thank you for everyones opinion on this topic. Just tapped 80% of my trees today. Hoping for a good run this weekend.
I clean my 3/16 lines with alcohol, so I assume I needed to dump the first run from the line. But I should have specified that 90% of my taps are buckets. Do I have to dump the first run from the...
I have been hearing that you should dump your first days run of sap because it may have off flavours and unwanted contents. Does anyone have any regulatory info or scientific proof?
Hung 45 buckets this evening, just outside of Barrie. Some of the south facing tap holes were wet. Suprising since it was -6C, but very encouraging for a good run this weekend. Will hang 70 more...
Thanks for the advice. Weekend run just looks too to pass by.

Just wondering if anyone thinks taps will dry up by end of March? Don't want to miss this weekend run, but worried about tapping too early. Another question does anyone have a way to steralize Eco...
Thanks for the info, i made a two handed tubing tool so I will run a little 3/16 and see how it works.
Just wondering if there is any increase in sap production by using droplines into buckets over buckets hung on trees. I am trying to avoid buckets falling off in the wind and possibly increase sap...
First year trying to make syrup. Purchased a hybrid pan from Smoky Lake and built a homemade arch from a 275 gallon oil tank. Thought I better give an update from Simcoe County.
Tapped 60 trees...
