    Default Cold reset?

    Got some warm weather through this past week along with two days of decent runs. But it has slowed drastically. Supposed to get cold again this next week. Will that reset the trees for some more decent runs?

    The trees will run again when conditions are right - warm day temps and freezing at night. It's the freeze/thaw cycle that primes the sap flow. It may be a week or longer until we see that again but don't worry, they should start up again. As for decent runs, that's up to Mother Nature, but lets hope so

    backyard mapler since 2006 using anything to get the job done from wood stove to camp stove to even crockpots.
    2012- moved up to a 2 pan block arch
    2013- plan to add another hotel pan and shoot for 5-6 gallons
    Thinking small is best for me so probably won't get any bigger.
