    So it sounds like the common wisdom is that these standard ones with slats that open and shut on all four sides will not let out enough steam? Or am I misunderstanding?

    Pdiamond: Would you mind sharing the details (you can send me a message here if you want) about who you worked with, and what plans you gave them to build it?

    jrgagne99: While building it in situ might be fun, it's just not an option for me. I live two hours from my sugarbush, and any time I'm there is at a premium: if I'm not actively boiling, I'm playing with my daughter and helping my wife. I occasionally find some time to cut and split wood in advance of the season. And that's about it. So I can get a roofer to cut open the roof and install a pre-made cupola, but I don't think I can find a local roofer who would know how (or be interested) to make one.

    Thanks everyone for your input,
