[QUOTE=Run Forest Run!;273937... It seems to me that the BTU capacity is reduced during the final one or two hours of boiling. Can't explain that, just my experience anyway. Perhaps it's my burner acting up.[/QUOTE]
Maybe due to sap getting denser as it approaches nearup? How far do you try to finish a batch on the propane before finishing indoors?
