You can run it on 3 sides and put in a compression fitting for adding or removing the unit. Mines right after the feed valve.
Those look awesome, I may have to borrow that idea as I only have a few outlets to play with for lighting.
Wonder if you could add coloring to make it look like you are burning syrup for fuel.:lol:
Most refrigeration equipment has a sprayfoam or foamboard core and is wrapped in pretty thin steel or plastic
With the late pruning you may have also timed the new leaf growth very close to the first wave of pests.

I enjoy collecting buckets with my son for now. The road between the buckets and the shack can be crossed through a culvert. I'm bringing the main to that point on the shack side for now.

Syrup was very good, darker compared to what I made that week with fresh sap.

When did you tap them? The buckets I hung in February are just starting to show sings of slowing down a bit. Figure they have one good week after this cold spell before they start to putter out.
