6.25 gallons (1.9 Brix) today, 43 gallons since 1/17 from 30 taps. Got about a gallon of syrup so far. I'm guessing this is about it until towards the end of next week; it doesn't look like it's supposed to get below freezing here until then.

I had a little over 50 gal yesterday & another 40 today - We need a freeze to get going again. Can't believe in January, can't get a night of frost.
Never thought I'd be hoping for freezing temperatures in January......

I wonder if Donald Trump can fix this!
At 9 PM it's down to 36.5 with clear skies - Fingers crossed here in Kent for frost tonight -
Hi Guys, just wanted to check in from danbury. this is my third year doing it. first year was about 10 taps, last year about 2 dozen. This year... not sure yet. hopefully around 3 dz. I'm in the middle of finishing my evaporator. Waiting on the pan to be bent and welded up next week nothing as fancy as some of the setups, but should work for my little hobby.
Still need to cut in the door, blower hole and decide if i want to do do a single stack or two 6"s just for fun? any idea if that would even work?

I've never seen any kind of woodburner with other than a single stack - Probably a waste of your time to try to re-invent the wheel -Originally Posted by BSD
