so far
Just ran 140 gallons thru the pans and got 2 1/5 gallons of Grade A Med amber and sweetened the pans. Running low and boiling fast with a preheater and blower did about 15 gallons an hour for a 9 hour boil on this 2x3! Had a small run yesterday and just broke freezing here so will gather today for next boil tomorrow. Dying for my new raised flue W. F Mason unit due here any time!

Preheater?
And do you have a pic of your blower set up? I have a 2 X 3 and get 1/3 (maybe) your rate

my preheater is about 20 feet of 3/8 copper wrapped around my stack. with flow adjusted right comes out almost too hot to touch into my sap tank.
The Blower is a squirrel cage blower blowing in the grate door aimed up at the grate. I run real low (1 1/2-2 inches) and fast and throw alot of wood
