Bryan it is good to see that someone is using the search function and updating an old thread instead of making a new on on the same topic. There is some good info in the old threads.

BryanEx...yep they were out of most things, but I got some bottles, and a few odds and ends...and a nice drive on a Saturday afternoon with the family. I'll give them a call later this week and see if they're getting any more buckets and I will most likely order some stuff for next year when the season winds down. Thanks again for updating the thread.
12x16 sugar shack
homemade 2x5 arch
54 more buckets for 2012 (now 104)
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.
Enough rabbits to keep Elmer busy..
I was told they were expecting more buckets in this week and hopefully another small evaporator or two. Easiest way to go is to collect the catalogues from each supplier, browse them at home, then order through Jamison. They have CDL catalogues there, not sure about Dominion & Grimm, Atkinson and Leader catalogues you can order direct from their web sites.
Glad bumping this thread up for this year has helped out someone and hopefully others know where you can go to touch, feel, see, or otherwise play with all those sugurin toys.
For anyone in the Eastern Ontario region... Jamison-Campbell Feed in Monkland is planning on doing a maple open house sometime in November. Once I find out confirmed dates and what to expect I'll update this thread. It would be cool to meet a few other Maple Traders from the area.
I hope to go. I was there the other day and the boys gave me an invite sheet.
On there it says 10AM to 2PM. Might see you there, I am a short old guy with
a scruff of a white beard, likely wearing a CAT hat.
120 buckets, and 18x48 Dom.Grimm pan, 14X24 preheater pan ;10gph
Cheesegenie, you just described me except I do not have a CAT hat.
Dave Klish, I recently bought a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
I'll still be around by 10 for sure. Best pic I can come up with is attached and I'll be with my vertically challenged wife (who really wants to talk cheese btw).
ok good. Looks like you got a lot more snow Sunday morning than we did.
