This would all depend on how much drop you have now on your current system. And also how much of drop would you be gaining by running individual 3/16th's line any further. The one thing about...

Also how your wood is split will make a huge difference in most rigs. We can keep the rig up to high temp and making syrup with small splits. Start throwing large splits in there and draws become...

We use mason jars for half of our syrup. We use a large stainless bbq grill with 2 stainless pans filled with a couple of inches of water in them. On the side burner we have a small pot that we boil...

Don't feel bad the wife's uncle had a boil over on our rig this year he was only 3ft away he got carried away in the story he was telling and the next thing he knew it was foaming over the pan. We...

Let put it a different way without the cost of the mainline, wire, tensioners, saddles, and a few other miscellaneous items. Your probably right in the neighborhood of a shurflo and two deep cycle...

It's how I am planning on setting up a woods this year. Small woods about 5 acres not a ton of slope. But everything runs to one low point. Then it's going to all come into a manifold built of PVC...

A little different but not much if you have plenty of drop then the upper trees are at or close to Max vacuum. So you only really have to worry about the trees that are at the end of the lateral. To...

Here's a question since this is going to be gravity why not skip all the mainline and just make each run to the tank. As long as you have drop all the way to the tank let her rip. A foot drop here a...

I ran some cdl last year really liked it. I like hearing what others are using and there experience with it.

What's everyone's favorite 3/16th's tubing and why?

Correct electric pump with 1 1/2 intake and discharge.

Anybody have this pump? Thinking about using it to transfer sap at the sugarhouse. Anybody know the GPM these pumps are rated for? My uncle found this pump in the box in the basement.

Just looking at comparing units it seems some of the hobby units only run up to 8%

What's the highest sugar content that anyone has reached with one of these units. Just curious if I had gotten one of these units and left it recirculating in the tank what's the highest sugar...

Your temp probe is bad.

I for one would like to see Larry be able to come back he may have gotten a little hot there in a previous thread. But before that happened he shared a wealth of maple knowledge and always seemed to...

We stop at the local grocery store pickup all the cardboard boxes that they all ready have broken down and are about to go in the compacter. My uncle and me set the table saw at an inch wide. stack...

We have tried this once we boiled about a dozen in the cooker (flat pan batch process). Hot dogs were great. Syrup came out cloudy and greasy looking even after we ran it through the cone filters....

I would say that my yamaha 550 efi grizzly does the job extremely well I pull out 6 to 8ft ash elm and red elm logs out that average about 18inches round with nothing but a strap wrapped around them....

yes snowmobile in snow with the sled. by your post sounds like you already have an atv. pull the same sled with the atv the weight is spread across the ground keep the tank under 150 gallons and...

I could not afford the tracks option when I bought my yamaha grizzly 550 with efi and power steering. But I could afford the plow with the big blade like the county snow plows have. So I live 3 miles...

My suggestion to you would be to build yourself some kind of sled. Find a tank and build the sled around it. The sled will spread the weight across the snow and the low center of gravity won't make...

yes set it off the vary back just before the stack maybe even cut it out like the pan is and let it catch heat before it goes up the stack or something this part I am still thinking on

my thought would be just a lot of coils through the pot that way the longer the sap ran through the coils and through the boiling water it would pick up the most heat.

you would be using water inside the pot to heat the copper tubing as copper is the best conductor of heat compared to stainless. And water you could add to it and wouldn't be wasting sap.
