    Default anyone have any personal connections for trees in hollis nh?

    I am looking for some more trees to tap in hollis nh. If anyone knows anyone living in town id barter of some finished syrup or candy. Anything 10 to 50ish taps would be greatly appreciated. Id consider other towns but those would have to be short lines like 50 total taps and pumping it out. Thanks in advance guys either way

    Just spot some trees and knock on doors. Start by asking your friends who don't make syrup themselves. I used to give 1 qt of syrup for each 100 taps, now I pay cash or syrup, their choice but my rate is over $.75/tap (was .75 in 2011, + inflation rate as specified by Social Security compounded every year since). Some pay as little as 50 cents others pay $1.00 or more.
    Good luck, first you look for 50 taps and before you know it you're tapping 1000+.
    Dave Klish, I recently bought a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    Ya I got nothing off that. Was worth a try and took no effort at all. I live on a main road. Must have 1000s of cars passing a day. I was considering a wanted sign. I just picked up 6 more 55 gallon drums today for running lines to
