    Looks like you can't get much farther north without going into Quebec.
    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.

    Not much. . Maybe a 7 mile drive to Canada from here, or a 2 mile boat ride (or swim). Our view out over the lake looks due North into Canada.

    Moved to our house in Newport full-time when my wife retired in May. Figured since I was here, I’d do some local presentations. Started sugaring as a kid in my grandfathers operation not too far from here about 50 yrs ago. Buckets and wood.

    Pick & Shovel is the kind of place where if you can’t find it in the store (other than groceries), you probably don’t really need it.
