Hey

We bought a 2'x4' drop flue from Patrick in 2014, so we are starting our 4th year. Last year we bought a steam hood/pre heater for it, we haven't tried it yet. We just build new sap house and got everything setup, unfortunately we are still waiting for a few parts to connect it all together (hoping they come this week). We tap approx 150 trees and the system works great, I'm sure the pre-hearter will make it even better.

Nothing wrong with his quality of work. You can search this site and you won't find many people that question his quality. His timing sucks and leaves you waiting, which is frustrating. I got steam hood last April, it's now February and still waiting for a few parts.

Despite that, I would still recommend his products. Just plan ahead and be patient.
