Since we are only about 50 miles from Canada our sugar house with no cupola will fit right in
I debated a long time about not building one and if it would look right without a cupola. I finally chose to go with a stainless pipe system and hoods to remove the steam. Up to this point I have not regretted it. The inspector has not had a problem either.

But a sugar house with a cupola is very pleasing to my eye.
