That's really cool. I bet if they were to watch us trudging through the snow they would probably think we are crazy as well.

2015 100 3/16 taps/buckets. 540 gallons of sap = 12 gallons finished. grill side burner (propane)
2016 100 3/16 taps/buckets 315 gallons of sap = 11 gallons finished Turkey Fryer/ grill side burner (propane)
2017 100 3/16 taps /buckets 797 gallons of sap = 8 3/4 gallons finished. Home made brick arch (wood)
One thing I did notice is that they used some kind of tree bark to keep the sap from spoiling. I wonder if that imparts a taste to the palm sugar? I use palm sugar in Thai cooking but how would I know if there is an off taste or not unless you could taste it both ways with or without the tree bark. ??? Jay

We saw this in Thailand a few years ago. I was allowed to help stir!
