Hi guys..
This propane business is getting pricy! Gonna have to build an arch next year! On our 6th batch ... collected 110 litres last evening and today.... I'm starting to realize that our trees aren't doing too bad as I read other posts.. if the season keeps going like this we may be swimming in the stuff.. we're already surpassing our 10 litre syrup goal 🍻
2 acres of sugar maples. Woodburning arch with small evaporator and propane burners with steamer pans Year 5.
