Above Ground vs Underground Storage

Belted,
No, it doesn't stay cool enough, especially later in the season. That's why everyone tries their best to boil promptly.
I used to gather early in the morning, before work. You have the best chance of harvesting ice at that time. Helps, but not as good as getting it boiled. Is there anyone near you that would take your mid-week sap and boil on shares?

The temps get to 50 or 60 your season is either done or soon will be. However when the temps get in the mid 40s I will still have ice on the floor in cellar hole. As I said putting our tank in the cellar moderates the high and low temps.
