In the first 17 years I made syrup, I kept my bottle of atmos either on the hot float box or the area where the syrup pan and the flues pan meet. I also have a microwave in my sugarhouse, I warm the Atmos in there, then it remains liquid all day (and into the night). Then I added a drip dispenser for the Atmos and mounted the dispenser on the flue pan hood. Since my sugarhouse is cold until the evaporator is at full boil, I had a clamp light with a 60 watt incandescent bulb in it, I clamped it at about 6" from the dispenser and the Atmos soon melted.
Using Atmos for 19 seasons I never heard of any allergy problems and I sell about 95-98% retail. It seems if Atmos was an issue I'd have heard something in 19 seasons, with all of the gluten, peanut, or anything else allergies.

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.
