IMO 10x10 is too small even for a half pint. Go with as big a building as you can.
And even the, chances are, in a year or two you will wish you had gone bigger.

I say build what you want and ask for forgiveness later. I doubt that you will have much of an issue anyway, hard to imagine that anyone would bother you too much over it. 16x16 with an 8' overhang for wood/sap storage. My sugar house is 20x36 and it was too small the day I moved into it.

I'm in a 10x20 canopy with a 2x4 and a steam hood and plenty of ventilation and it still gets moist. A 10x10 space for your 2x4 isn't probably going to work.0326191712.jpg0412192003a.jpg
2017- Started small-made 7 gallons. Long days & few nights on a 1x2 and turkey fryer.
2018- Bought a 2x4 and built a small scale RO. 21 gallons.
2019- moved up to 100 gph procon for my home built RO. Built a steamhood. About 220 taps and 21 gallons again.
2020- 140 procon on the R0. Added a new mainline at my in laws. 330 taps for 24 gallons, sold excess sap.
Right you all are. My thought is keep the boiling in the small space with it in mind I got a 24x 48 foot garage parked right next door!
