Ran out of wood??? Is that like ran out of runway? Make a bet the siding is still on the sugarhouse!

[Russell Lampron]

The siding is still on the sugar house but some of the wood for the outdoor furnace is gone and didn't make it to the furnace!!!

By the way that 275 gallons of syrup was made with 3 cords of wood!!!

I'd say a hell of a year and that's w/ 3-4 lost days due to vac. problems and found the tank overflowing 3 times...I'll take it.

Glad to see everybody had good years...makes up for last year I guess.

2010 - 155 gallons from 630 taps

2011- 519 gallons total

Sap from others helped us make 27 gallons

So from our taps we did .427 gallon per tap.

Will have my sap totals next week when I sit down with my daily tally sheets.

Here are my totals for 2011:
560 gallons of sap, 57 taps, 9.82 GPT
560 gal sap, 12.5 gal syrup, 1.91 % sug content
560 gal sap, 105 hrs boiling, 5.33 GPH avg
12.5 gal syrup, 57 taps, .21 GPT
I only expected to make 3 gallons of syrup so I met my expectations 4 times over.
Had to scramble last night to find storage containers for the remaining 4-1/2 gallons I got from cleaning out the pan. What a great year I had.
Hope everybody had a great year as well!!!

2011 Results
245 gallons on 523 Taps

55 gallons of retail and 8 gallons of commerical also sold some sap.
Much better than last years 22 gallons of retail and 7 commerical.
And I way way over estimate my taps. I had 210 on the vac bush and 85 on gravity. The only number I got right was the 3 bucket trees. But I did hold off tapping a section of gravity tubing this year because of snow and being overwhelmed in sap.
