not sure about the snow total but it looks like ill need my snowshoes to tap tomorrow,
NOT IMPRESSED.

just lay it on, wont go no place.

I would use 5/16 for only 20-30 taps.

I have 50 or so on one and runs real good, the natural vac im getting really impressed me.

you are right on all the questions, 3'' square holes would be good.
if you have never soldered stainless, or welded it, find a shop to do it, and save you'r self a headache.

the way you have it set up now looks just like mine,i had the same trouble your having before i lowered my ramp and made wider spacing between my grates so that the coals stopped restricting my...

you can get a 2x3 flue pan if you like drop flue,like the Leader American.

front to back will let you reverse the flow in your syrup pan so sugar sand don't build up that is if the front pan is four section ,side to side is called cross flow,it works just fine but you cant...

I think if the back pan is divided you would be able to make lighter syrup because the sap coming it wont mix with the higher concentrate that is about to enter your front pan,no divider in the back...

that's a good idea.

17 wet inches in the sunny town of vernon !!

put 3 holes in the side, spaced apart enough to lace the line in-out-in.
it will keep your line from pulling out, personally i would vent it, just seems right.
