Maple Syrup Boil Time
- Thread starter bakaboy
- Start date
How about snap together galvanized duct?
I dont like galvanizing around fire and people/food. It could probably be back far enough but I like to avoid melting my brain when possible.
I have fond memories of my dad and our neighbours dad boiling sap in the “Sugar Shack” they built on our property. My dad talked about those Spring boils right up until his death.
I’ve driven past that shack a few times, now owned by someone else and they have no interest in it. One of these days I’ll see if I can get the big stainless steel tub (likely an old industrial dual sink thingy) from there and use it to boil my own sap.

Same trees tapped, just less flow this season?
All a game of weather bingo.
I only leave trees tapped for 7-8 days so it all depends on if the weather cooperates in that window.

My sugar make is raising off, about 4l today.
I got less this year, strangely my gigantic Manitoba maple didn't run this year. Normally I'd get 80 from her, thus year just 4l.

A conundrum:
A religious group in Quebec wanted to experience a traditional maple syrup outing that had been going on for generations at a particular farm. The experience included watching the boil then having pancakes and syrup along with a serving of pork and beans.
The problem was the pork and the group asked if it could be omitted from the pork and beans, a traditional family recipe. I guess your syrup isn't halal or kosher either.
The conundrum being, wanting to experience someone else's lifestyle without experiencing all of it.
I have found over my years that neither I or my actions have ever been classified as 'kosher' to most people
We’re taking the kids to Maple Town tomorrow.
Should be a good time.

Need to reserve. 2 dates left.
Bummer. A few places have cancelled March break in fear of COVID. The St Jacobs tour is a really good one. Two minutes from my home. Love taking the grandkids. They love sitting at the very front of the wagon."Papa! I saw the poop come out of the horses butt".
We've done that one more than a few times with friends from down that way. They are members so they get 20% off in the store. Often pick up a 4L jug for ~$50.
may not be as good as some of the others and the home made ones you guys make. But it’s good and the kids had a blast.
