I tapped late in the day on 2/21 as we had good weather then. Got a few good runs but have really only collected around 15-20 gallons. All frozen now. Hoping to get some good runs starting this weekend.

I expanded and rebuilt my cinder block evaporator to hold 5 hotel pans up from 2. Also to hopefully draft better with an improved chimney design more on the ticket stove idea. Two years ago I didn't really have one and the syrup was a little smokey.

First time posting..
