I'm going to pull tomorrow and boil but I think you guys on vac have another run coming this weekend. I just want to get to camp on the mid coast and hunker in place where the ice is out for some...

Next ten days look dynamite for western, central, and even northern Maine if forecast holds.

Stock up on your beer boys, she ran all night, any bit of sun this afternoon and people are going to be real busy!:cool:

This is so excellent that you continue to do this and teach the kids the "important" stuff. Well done and thanks for sharing.

That is an insane rate for a 2x4, dropped, raised, or turbocharged!:D

I'm interested to see what it does today, didn't drop below 32 until 5:30 this morning, I still think its going to run though.

All night run confirmed. Everyone should have plenty to boil this weekend.:)

I'm 20 miles from you, I think guys on vacuum will get a pretty good charge today and bucket guys some but not a sap tsunami!:D I'm actually thinking this could be one of those rare times it goes...

Anybody purchased one yet and care to share likes and dislikes? Concept seems neat and no need for bricking, just wondering how it performs as a sap boiler and how much the unit weighs mostly. ...

A guy in Newburgh has some for sale in Uncle Henry's if that's close to you.

This is tremendous on so many levels, good on you teach!

Surprisingly running fairly well today even with no freeze last night, central Mainers should be making syrup until mid April if they choose.

Great first post! Addiction knows no age limits!:lol:

I have a couple quarts left in sealed mason jars from 2016, perfectly fine still. Once opened though, get it to the refrigerator.

Very freaky day in the sap world! I'm 20 miles south of you, it's 33 degrees, blowing a buck ten off a lake with 2' of ice, and it's running pretty good! Low pressure? Crazy stuff!:confused:

Great looking stuff! 80 taps on the half pint will keep you plenty busy!

I wouldn't hit the panic button just yet Rusty, I am not convinced fighting the 30 mph winds that night wasn't a great deal of the problem. Next boil, if it ever thaws, will give you a much better...

I remember when you came on last year looking for advice on how to get started, now you are a raging sap-a-holic! :lol: Great stuff! My suggestion with a halfpint sitting on 165 gal. of sap = GET...

Easy fix on the cheap if you are not particular. Just unscrew a sheet or two of your roofing in the area you want it to go through. Take your sawzall or skill saw and cut away particleboard between...

Not that great with computers and how to do links but it came from Amazon with free shipping and is called Durablow Speed Variable Blower for $18.88. I believe it is 100CFM when on full.

Blower arrived today, for $18 bucks I don't know how you beat it, fairly quiet even. Going to mount it upside down on the side and towards the front to blow air under grate vs. over, thanks for the...

O.K., don't laugh:D - My firebox on my newly created evaporator is a truck tool box with a volzegang door. For those with you familiar, you'll know it doesn't offer much in the way of draft and...

I have tried several different methods on the cheap to get the perfect finish. I am one of those guys obsessed with a perfect looking glass bottle even though we only give it away. I decided to...

Thank you.

Could not have worked out any better for us, never tapped until 3/18 and am pulling taps today. Three batch boils of 50, 60, and 60 more last night gives us more than enough syrup for friends and...
