I also like Covell's and have bought a lot of glassware, hydrotherms etc from them. Problem is, that section of the store is only open for 3 mths of the year, and I live a good haul away so don't want to drive an hour or more to get there only to find that section closed down :-/
Still collecting sap, so am going to make a teeny little batch #7 of it, mixed in with the last tiny bit from batch #6. Don't want to mess any more with #6, even if it is going to crystallize a little cause it finished off two hashmarks over hot. Ah well.
