crew is tired but satisfied that we have been able to salvage the season. Couple more boils I suspect...might get over the 700 gal. mark if things go well...

all the best of luck to folks still making some steam...
Erik, Great to see you had that kind of production out of the weather we had this year. It looks like you were running 21 to 23 lbs. of pellets to the gallon witch is way less than half the cost of oil per gallon for my little 2X6. Whats next, a bigger silo or an expansion of the day bin so you can load a few bags at a time? Dick
