Same here in Greenwood although some of my woods taps are not generating a lot of gpt. The tubing is working well though.
Update: my last few boils have been fine with no issues at all anymore......I did remove that cap and the extra grates I had installed and the stove is firing normally now with the blower running. ...
vertical? or horizontal?
I don't get the blower not functioning either but it seems to kill the burn when I turn it on.....regardless of volume of air I am pushing. I need to see if the fan is...
Well the good news is if I open the ash door some I am able to maintain a good flame/boil rate without using the AUF. I did remove the rain cap and pull the extra grating from the firebox so crisis...
I went that way because I didn't want to deal with cutting a hole in the metal roof for the new stack. Didn't do a great job on my southern shack and I was pretty sure that my second attempt would...
This is pretty close so I will try here. This season I constructed a new shack but had to reconfigure my 2X3 Mason to exhaust out the wall and up the side of the shack using doublewall vs prior...
ok,,,they are now...never mind.
Huh,,,in Greenwood my taps haven't run at all this past week.
might need to double them up for that gap
the earlier poster was referencing food grade steel barrels for collecting
I have found that these:White Silicone Rubber Sheet, 60A Duro, 1/16 x 9 x 12 Inch, Food Grade
cut to fit, work really well to seal bulkhead fittings. from Amazon
Thanks, Brian...I know where you are and will be by to take a look.
Hello. New Maine resident here completing my shack in Greenwood and I have a question regarding Maine regs on double-walled stovepipe clearances. I have my mason 2X3 exhaust pipe 18" from the inner...
I need one 90 degree bend because, on the Mason, the exhaust hole is thru the back, not thru the top.
I have constructed a new shack and am ready to install the stack after placing my Mason 2X3 18" from my wall. I am wondering what the draft (and boiling) implications would be if I ran my stack thru...
ok....I will try your suggestion of MOAR DE! Though I am pretty sure I used 1 or 2 cups for that gallon....so throw in another cupful.
so the consensus is it's just niter and I can remove it by reheating [all of] my jars and better filtering? I have a gallon jar of DE'd syrup that I couldn't get thru the filters so I am trying to...
about a gallon...I used DE from CDL...I think I mixed in over a cup...there's a thread someplace regarding the 9 inch CDL vac filter.
so if it's just niter I should be able to reheat and re-jar...
MapleTrader keeps failing to upload the pic
your description does sound like how I did it before with the exception I did not have the vacuum on before dumping the hot DE'd syrup into the filter....
This is moving around in the bottoms of several of my jars. It's not crystalized sugar from jarring overly hot. Could it be niter? While I used a CDL vacuum filter to filter my finished into my...
if you don't want to use just hot water you can add a little bleach to the wash and then rinse thoroughly, even excessively.
I have found a good prep before power washing is to mix a batch of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and dawn dish soap into a paste. Layer it on the whole underside and leave it for 15 minutes, then...
around 5 gallons produced from roughly 375 gallons....issues with the RO and DE filtering for next year's problems but I learned some things and am happy with this year's crop
Right now Least Favorite is my struggles with my RO and DE filtering.
Favorite: Night boils, , the stack glowing, the yellow glow from the shack lights lighting up the steam coming out the shack,...
now if somneone can hep me get DE out of doubly-DE'd syrup without the vacuum filter I'd be forever grateful.
can anyone post a pic of their vacuum connection to their filter? I have an adapter but I dunno if it's tight enough
