Thread: Anyone into making maple syrup

I would happily buy it, or maybe a trade for something from the desert. Indian tea? Pitch pine? Trilobites? If I look real hard maybe some peote? Get some brewed and put it on the classifieds, there is a misc section(?), or perhaps you could sell maple shave soap.

Cooked down some sap today here a pic of my boiler cooking im trying to upload a video but not quite sure how to do it.

That doesn't look healthy at all....

i promise you that barrel has had 3 fires in it to the point it was glowing red, had water boiled in it multiple times, has been scrubbed out with hot soapy water 2 times, its clean lol it just dosent look pretty because i dont care what it looks like it was cheap adn it works well im going to paint the outside with woodstove paint after the sap stops running and then get a lid welded on it.
