Hi everyone, i noticed a lot of folks are into sugaring. I would be really intereseted in seeing some pictures of your shacks and even better, construction pictures, sizes, layout ect..
Ive done syrup on a very small scale (up to 5 taps) the past few years. I boil over an open fire and typically burn 10-15 gallons of sap at time. Last weekend we got 3/4 of a liter of syrup. Just fun to hang out around a fire all day while doing some spring clean up. I have about 30 sugar maples on my property and have the right pitch to make nice little gravity system. Got me thinking i should build myself a little shack and get me a hobby size evaporator.
