This year we did not run off as much syrup as we had hoped. We had trouble to say the least however we did run off around 58 quarts. The root of out trouble was the draw on our fire under the syrup pan. We had an extremely hot fire under the pan however the fire was shooting out the top of the chimney and was not heating the pan to cooking heat. The syrup would cook on the bottom of the pan but would not heat hot enough to cook the top. Therefore, I had to pull syrup only off of the bottom of the pan with the stoper. We did the best we could and had some good syrup in the end but it sold quickly. Hope to work on it this winter and fix our problem. Also, I would like to thank family and friends who showed up to work thoughout the year and made this year as sucessful as possible.
