Need any extra sap. I'm in Warkworth and have far more than I can use? .50 per gallon

Are there any guidelines as to the size and height of a chimney? Does it make much difference if there are 2 90 degree elbows in the chimney, as I have it vented out a rear wall as opposed to going...

I am new to this, so please bear with me. If I put about 10 trees on the same run (making sure I have a slope towards the collection bucket), do I have to leave an open end at the highest Tao, or is...

unning into one large bucket, do I need a slope downward between each tree. Do I then have to leave an airlock above the highest tap or it a sealed system to the collection barrel?

Hi: I,m over in Warkworth and in somewhat of a dilemma with this warm weather. When do you think we might be able to tap this year? Last year I had about 45-55 taps and only used an old barrel...

Working on a very similar arch myself. Using an old 2x5 oil tank cut in half. Basically 2' wide fire box at one end and then an arch to the other end. Top has a 24 1/2 x 48 1/2 opening (made out of...

I think one of the positives for an early snowfall is that it provides an insulation for the ground, which helps to eliminate a deep frost. That being said, there is no frost with the warm...

How much effect will the late long warm temperatures and lack of snow have on this springs sap production

Will this warm weather and lack of snow have much effect on this years sap?

Does fall tapping generally give a light or darker syrup?

That's guys. This will be my first year with a bunch of tubing and just wasn't sure. I think I might just use 3/16 and do groups of about 15-20 trees and run them into 45 gallon drums. I can pump...

Do you think I could run my tubing about 10' high. I could put my taps a little higher. I have a lot of deer in the area and am afraid they will pull lower lines down

What Do You Think?

I have a 10 x 14 garden shed on a concrete base. I was going to put evaporator along one side with an 8" chimney up through the roof. Was thinking of getting 2 used range...

Also new this year. Really enjoyed it and already planning on taps for next year!

I am thinking about putting a piece of angle iron on the inside of my home made evaporator so that I can recess my pans a bit into the evaporator. Any thoughts?

Wish I could help you out, although I'm just starting myself and have the same questions! You are away ahead of me in thinking about using a pump

Just joined forum and this was my first year. Live about 40 minutes east of Peterborough. I made about 7 1/2 gallons of syrup this year from about 50 taps (all on buckets). Looking forward to next...

New to maple sugaring and enjoyed it this year. I have a tendency to go overboard right off the bat. Had about 55 taps this year (40 on buckets and the rest on tubing feeding into buckets). Made a...

Almost 55 f this afternoon in Warkworth. Fields to wet to collect sap over in bush. Think it may be done for this season!

Just down the road in Warkworth and started a few trees this year. Just using a home made barrel evaporator but would like to improve. Made about 6 gallons this year
