    It doesnt fit in your shed does it? You might as well sell it and get your little guy back.

    Parr( gonna make so much syrup this year going to bankrupt all of quebec with a flooded market)ker- None of that stuff, got it all in and put together, looks beautifull, piggyback is on it, just got to hook up the floats and stuff which I have for it and its ready to go. I just missed one little thing when I looked it over. Ready? Its a 6 by 14 not a 6 by 16. Easy thing to overlook I guess. I thought sure they said it was a 6 by 16 and I looked at it and it looked a lot bigger than the 3 by 10 so I never paid much attention. Never would have noticed but I was over to the owners last night and he was explaining everything to me on how to hook it up and run it and stuff and I said something about it being a 6 by 16 and he said no it was a 6 by 14. I could have sworn when I bought it the dealer said it was a 16 but I probly heard him wrong or he misspoke or something. I just thought it was funny. Whats my new numbers per hour now. Its a 6 by 14 with a piggyback. Two syrup pans and a ten foot flue pan and a ten foot piggyback, thunderbolt. Seems like a guy would pick up on something like that. Almost died getting it in the sugarhouse, think I would have noticed somewhere along the way. Theron

    I wouldnt know about the evaporator talking to me, because i am getting mine in october. Well thats if Lappiere gets it done by then. This will be my first year boiling. I have been selling my sap for 15 years. Its going to be a big hurdel for me but everything will probably be fine after my first nervous breakdown. 2000 feet of high tension wire and 2000 feet of 1 1/2 dryline done today. My arms feel like they are going to fall off. I am glad i had help today.

    Theron, I have just about 6000 taps maybe a little less. All on high vac. I have a 4x14 hurricane force 5 coming. Along with a lappiere 1200 Turbo coming as well. And all of the other things, 10 inch filter press, water jacket canner, and other misc. stuff. It is going to be a little overwealming at first but everything will click when i get the 1st season under my belt.

    Randy- Good for you. That should be a good combination. Are you going to just single pass it to the evap or are you Thinking about recircing some water out first? Might have to with that much sap depending on your time? Theron

    Yes i do plan on recirculating, I want to try to run 18 or 20 percent. Time will tell. Will definatly have to for the 2012 season because i am adding alot of taps next year. I will be a big hitter some day.
