I also preheat the sap, so the actual boil never stops. I'm never introducing cold sap to the pan. 2 years ago I was running a 3" depth in the pan, until a friend stopped by and told me to try less sap, but keep on top of it. So many variables, going from 3" of sap with no blower, to adding a blower, to going to a 1" depth, changed my GPH for the better at each change in methods.
