Does anyone know of any maple suppliers near SW MO? I need 4000' of 3/16 tubing. Shipping is super expensive.

I did a google search and I believe the closest two suppliers will be in Wisconsin. Roth Sugar Bush Supplies or Smoky Lake Maple Products LLC. Check with Smoky Lake they may be able to cut you a deal for shipping that quantity of tubing.
2004 - 2012 2x3 flat pan 25 to 60 taps
2012 2x3 new divided pan w/draw off 55 taps
2018 - didn't boil surgery - bought new evaporator
2019 new SML 2x4 raised flue high output evap. 65 taps
made 17 gal. syrup
2020 - only put out 53 taps - made 16.25 ga.l syrup
2021 - Didn't work out
2022 - 25 taps on bags / 8 taps on 3/16's line - late start
So they didn't honor the $23 shipping fee. and wanted $270+ Thankfully Smokey lake offered FREE!!!! shipping on the tubing.
I am glad you were able to get free shipping. I hope you get it quickly so you can use it this year, they are usually really fast on their order shipping.

Good to know. Bascom sent me tracking numbers already. Waiting for smokey. Super excited though. Didn't get to tap last year as we moved to MO right when I should of been tapping. Been in the woods for the last 4 days from getting it ready to run the tubing. Tomorrow is cold but then perfect weather. Should have two lines setup tomorrow.
That sounds great. Hope you have a good season. Afraid we have a few weeks yet.
