Al don't quote me on this, but it's my understanding (from my firefighter nephew) that a burn ban does not apply if the fire is being used in food preparation. Check with your township office if the ban extends to your area in the future. I think you'll be OK because you are making syrup.

I'm still being patient and waiting for my turn to join in the fun. Since March 3rd I've gathered a little here and there and stored it in the garage. Most of the time it's frozen so I have been lucky to peel off the ice to RO it. There's about 50L out there representing three weeks worth of collecting. Still almost -3 around here at the moment with a high of perhaps 1C for the day. Not really enough to get things going. By mid-week I expect things will change for the juicier.
