Is going from the worst sugaring season in 40 years (2012) to the best sugaring season in 40 years (2013) possible ?? I certainly know its possible and looking at the long range forecasts, the...

Howdy , hadn't been here in a while ,but something told me I should, my e-mail now Jim is, masonwf@psouth.net , any shoulders to cry on here ? Things are going much better in my life now, there is...

What exactly would you be using 26ga. for ?

For as long as I can remember(which an't long nowdays) Bascoms and Goodrich always had their open houses on the same weekend , it never made any sense to me, this year Goodrich is this weekend and...

Preheating the sap before it enters the preheater box is a positive thing someone can do also, many have told me they do this on propane , it also increases the gph overall of course.

Your Hired!

A 4'x8' sheet of galvanised is cheap , put it down and nail or screw it to the floor. Its easy to sweep off to.

If you think that is the only spare front pan there is, I'll make your day , its not. Small Bros made ten million just like yours. I believe the most common evaporator made , but with age solder and...

The 2'x6' drop tube I do list at 35gph, although many have told me they get 40gph with less talk and more fireing.

Contrary to the belief that I actually had fallen off the face of the earth. I am still here. A long hard emotional winter lay behind me now, as my family takes a new direction, I take each day as...

I saw on the news this morning of a sugarhouse fire in Otisfield Maine,the pictures showed just the basestack standing, is that anyone here on the trader?

If you are going to solder it, use lap joints for the seams and 'no' flame for the heat. A butt joint would be nearly impossible to solder both sides if needed.

I was looking for a photo on here someone posted like a year or more back of Patricks evaporator with the crossflow pan that had the same side reverse flow syrup pan, open one valve , close the...

I haven't seen the new Bascoms catalog , but if my evaporator is in there, I believe I reached the 'PINNACLE' of my career, I must now announce my retirement while being at the bottom of the top in...

There was a time when alot of the old syrup pans with copper and bronse fitting needed to be replaced and keeping that connection for the flue pan involved putting that fitting back onto a welded...

I never had any problems selling syrup there , the guy who bought it was a vermont native and always customer friendly.
Sorry , I was trying to pick on Jerry with a little bit of humor, I certainly...

I'm glad this post came up, I have ten gallons of dark dark syrup a customer dropped here for me to take to Maple Grove, last year I dropped syrup there for several customers for the $4.buck a pound...

In the drawing that looks like a raised version , early on before I could bend a flue I made a drop 'V' pan , it worked ok, the raised like you show would need to be capped and space at the ends for...

I believe in the factory WRU the holes in the floor were the air exits are punched quite large , like 3/8"(i could be wrong)and thats why they use a blower with alot of cfm's going in , becouse on...

A friend was up north visting Pierre last spring, he had ten buckets sitting on the ground in front of ten maples beside the road, he explained he was testing the IPL stainless spout that you use...

After reading your last post,I'm not really sure what were looking at, the thing that stands out for me would be the depth of the sap and the volume in there, my calculator is not at hand , so...

A easy trick is to put some leg brackets on the back of the arch , if the flue pipe comes out straight, mount the preheater over the pipe so its heated by the pipe. It will make the sap boil in there.
