I get an amazing sap flow on 29 trees with 3/16. Hardly a slope to speak of. I would never have believed it if I didn't see it for myself. No vacuum pump.

Must be cold in Duane. I've got 1/2 crop in the barrel
you have been up there Doug it has been cold and even the days it did run a little it wouldnt have been enough to do anything with. Not worth it when you have to go up every day for 2 weeks and start a fire to keep evaporator from freezing. plus not getting enough sap to clean the ro. Still 3.5 feet of snow out of the 50 inches we had last week.
