    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.

    Built a 2 story 16 x 20 room for our tanks off the head tank end of the sugarhouse we have the 2 1200gal tanks downstairs and will try to get 2 600gal tanks and a 1000 gal upstairs. Will be nice to have the tanks inside.,,woodshed full,,little more work to do picking up lines in the woods,,,,gonna concentrate on fixing what we have this year, might hit 4k taps.....keep after it!!

    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.

    Mine are 36 inches and I use CV2s spouts. You will not have to change drops as often if using the CV2s.
