Collected ~55 gallons of sap yesterday! And last night's weather, and today's, looks like it should mean a lot in the buckets again today. So much boiling to do, and so little time 
---------------------------
5' x 9' sugaring room
37 taps (cast iron spiles), 3 gallon metal buckets
Boiling with a 21" x 24" divided pan, 3 troughs, w/warming tank on top
250K BTU propane burner inside cement block arch, 4 x 100lb. propane tanks in parallel
Sap storage in 44 gallon Brute barrels w/food-safe plastic bag barrel liners

2022: ~11 gallons of syrup (but I lost a 3 gallon batch because I fell asleep and burned it!!)
