    Our propane tank is coming tomorrow for the sugar shack and we plan on tapping tomorrow mid-day. Maybe we can get a boil going this weekend. What size evaporator do you have randolphvt and do you have a r.o? I'm Curious of your setup and would like to have you down to ours if you're ever in the area
