I'm all-in. I just took a ride around here (lakes Region) and about three quarters of the taps I saw are in, so you're probably spot-on.

I'm a hobbist as well. My "evaperator" is a 16X28 pan on a woodstove (modified), in an 8'X12' sugarhouse made from scrounged construction material. I ran 30 taps last year and made 4-1/2 gallons of syrup, just for friends, not for resale. I started out as a kid back in the 1960's with a couple of pepsi bottles tied to a tree and a "bendie-straw" for a tap. I boiled it on the kitchen stove and was lucky if I made half a cup. Funny how one's expectations keep building.....this hobby is addictive!
