Of the two would go with the preheater first....you will boil more gallons per hour.

I will stay with the old CV's - have not had a problem in the last three years. Will wait until they improve the mfg process. It's nice they are replacing the broken CV; however, the cost in lost ...

You guys are right on. The only thing I do different is to go to half way point and check for leak. I have found it much quicker doing it this way than going to each tree. If leak is above me I go...

I know that sugaring equipment is expensive - with that said I have tried to make my own, sometimes succeed; however, most of the time I was not fully satisfied. I would take a look how long you are...
