Welcome one and all to the Northern Ontario 2025 forum. I had the pleasure of meeting another local Maple Trader member recently. We got to hang out at the wood hobby club up at the 22 Wing air base. It may be cold out now but spring is coming.

Can't wait to get started. I found 5 more trees this winter that I can tap. I will now be over 60 trees. Slowly growing with each year. This year is the first year I haven't spent money on my setup as well.
2021 - Year one. 15 taps using 5/16" and drop tube into buckets. Homemade barrel evaporator with 2 steam trays. 4.7L syrup.
2022. 32 taps. Added AUF.
2023. 51 taps. Ditched the steam pans for an 18x22 flat pan.
2024. 56 taps. Built a proper evaporator to fit the 18x22 flat pan and 1 steam pan.
"Haven't spent money"....yet
Yet is the correct thing to say.
