We have purchased from D & G in PQ a few times and never had any problem. As for Atkinsons this past summer I broke a hydrometer and never expecting this not to be out of stock had someone stop in to pick one up. They were told they were out of stock and wouldnt have any till next spring. Really: isnt this something that is really basic and you would think that a supplier who claim to have "great' customer service would have that item always in stock.And as for Martin Weber in St. Jacobs, good pricing but not a large amount of supplys.
ps got 2 hydrometer at LEADER in Vermont, they had tons in stock

Ken WP if you are still having problems with D & G give Germain Fortin a call at 450-539-2225. He has his own showroom near Waterloo Qc. and he sells for CDL, and he also speaks english. I'm sure he can fix you up!
4 x 12 wood fired, 1300 taps & growing, flat land buckets
Techtuar deals with him a lot also and gave him a good recommendation also.Most French are good with service but some are a pain. I found the product number for fibre board on my own thru one of the old D&G catologs so I can go and ask the kid over at the Compton store for a price now. I just can't figure out why dealing with the people in Montreal is such a problem. In this day and age you would think they would jump for new business.
maybe 50 taps for 2011
Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.
