    We’ll see how it goes today. Have boiled about 4-5 times so far with the new bubbler system in the flue pan,couldn’t see much bubbling action going on,still lots of nitre and syrup not getting lighter. Had it “ teed in “ to the pipe feeding the steam away,not enough air I guess. Disconnected the pipe and hooked up to the shop vac,,voila,looks like the pan is boiling with no fire. Will permanently plumb it outside after the season if it works how I think it should.

    Well I thought that I had exhausted most of the projects I wanted to try. Looks like we've just added another summertime project to try and make something other than dark syrup. Thanks Russ!

    Craigwade,made all golden syrup from start to finish last year with the bubbler,turned it off after first 100 gallons made to make darker grades for customers requesting that instead. Now I have a selection of grades to sell for this year
