Parker, I'm in the same boat, man. My cold woods of mostly reds has run well the past two days, and it's running a bit again today. I'm going to boil off what I have, then the wife and I are heading out to friends for an Easter cookout. Not your typical Easter, and not your typical sugaring season, but all good.

I make mine about 36". That gives you enough to cut off the old and install a new for the 5 years before you replace the drop.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered 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.
Going to start tapping today,,,not going to run for a while,,,,but,,,,gota strt sometime!
