yes you can store it for 4 days in the snow. whrnn I was a teenager back in teh 80s, we would collect all week, and boil on the weekends. We stored the sap in an unheated garage to keep it out of the sun

A gas grill isnt quite what yuo want. YOu really want the flame directly on the pan. I fyou can take the grates out and set the ban right on the burner then that would be better.

Yes you can boil 5 gallons down to 1, then wait a few days and add to it.

Is it true that if boil 5 to 1 then and another 5 will it make the syrup darker?
