Nah I’ll pass. My leader pans are awesome even after 14 years…am thinking of replacing the 2x6 arch with an air-tight and some AOF and AUF doo dads for next year.
The old Leader WSE just doesn’t like some of the wood I’m feeding it lately.
Have cut most of the deadfall stuff around here…locust and cherry which burned like rocket fuel…and am now into lesser quality fuel.
Now back to the movie:
Pulled in 450 gallons of 1.50% today on my 275 taps. Got it squashed down to 120 at 5%. In the tank and ready to boil off.
Lifter and releaser are cleared out for the deep freeze tonight. It looks good for the weekend and into next week.
Side Note:
There are easily 400+ available taps up here…until I decide to retire, it’s a lot more fun trying to make really good syrup than lots of syrup.
