RE: making maple syrup
I know cant make any money from it. I am sure its a pain in the butt to make it. Gives me something to do. Where I live I have heard season starts around sometime in february but by the middle of march its over. the only reason i want to do it is because there isnt much to do any way during this time of year. if anyone else has any tips and ideas for me let me know. start planning now hopefully by next winter i should be in full swing. when my family used to make it they built a brick fire place shaped like a U. they feed it on the one end with fire. then sat the tub of syrup on top of the bricks. then had a chimmy on the back end.
