    Default New here...hello

    Hi folks..located in eastern Ontario in the Rideau Lakes heartland....lot of small hobby producers here and a few really big operations...this was my third year making syrup on a very basic system not too far removed from hot rocks in a hollowed out log, LOL but pretty basic...I am in the process of building a proper evaporator for next season and will probably run about 60-80 taps...its been great fun and a wonderful learning curve that is ongoing....thank you for accepting me to this site and hope to connect with you and learn...Cheers

    Welcome aboard Applecreek, glad to have you come.
    Since you have made syrup for 3 seasons now, It's too late to warn you that there is no cure for this addiction and the only therapy is to tap more trees.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
