My first year ever on my 3x10 I did 1400 taps containers stores that is built the Sugar House for 2500 bought an evaporator used for $2,800, filter press from year prior, and made 360 gals 8000k. It cost me$16,000 to boil my first season my first season on a big rig that is and I recouped half of it that year the following years I've added vacuum and all kinds of goodies relatively cheap and just look at my last post it speaks for itself

Apparently the new owners of this site have no interest in it. Otherwise they would way in about letting threads getting into mud slinging and pure BS. It's a shame, Kim and Chris developed a good site. This particular thread has degraded into one persons vendetta against everyone else on the forum.

No it's about you guys, not believing and leaving someone alone and trying to tell them over and over "your forgetting expenses". I'm simply not backing down , believe me or don't but don't keep telling me I'm leaving this out or that or I don't know this or that......u should be looking to others for why they are more profitable.... Adirondack replace equipment every 5 years, maybe instead of be mad at me ask someone why his equipment is shot after 5 years, dont you think that plays a big roll in profitability?

Bliss here's a little math using your #s
57k gross profit
35k investment
22k net not figuring an expenses
1500 taps = 14.00 per tap
7 years ÷ by 14 dollars = 2 Dollars per tap
That's 3k a year, no labor ,no expenses , no nothing, where all the money I'm confused, again I used your #s on these threads.
