John Francis đ¨đĻđĻĢđđĒâŦī¸3rd burner going on the syrup factory. 2 large kettles working on fresh sap, 1 small finishing concentrated sap that is nearly syrup.
you can hear me saying "syrup!" a little better in this one.
Next time, I will say syrup as quickly and in the highest pitch I can manage.
Pete Anderson đ˛@johnefrancis For your doesn't-fit-the-barbecue pan, what did you go with? We had too much sap this past week and the mish mash setup isn't up to it.
@johnefrancis The only saving grace is the barbecue is on a natural gas line, so Enbridge will get us when our equal monthly payment plan resets.
@dairpo I bought a 3rd propane burner...but of course it's slightly higher than the burner I was hoping to pair it with....so I'll have to find a tile or something to raise the smaller one. So the new pan hasn't been used yet. I'm probably going to wrap up syrup making this week, so I'll have 11 months to look at the large pan and think about how to use it đđ¤
@dairpo I already have 3 propane tanks, and Costco was still selling propane at $0.89/L on Thursday...110 tank-lbs only cost me $70...maybe I have dodged most of the global fuel price volatility!
@johnefrancis I feel like I'll do similiar. I'm reusing my former beer making bucket for consolidating the tree pails, so I could see myself merging the two hobbies into a combined gear set.
Lstn2urmama đ¨đĻ@johnefrancis I can imagine the smell there ...đ
@Lstn2urmama mostly like fresh-cut wood from the big pots which are just getting started. But some syrup smells from the small pot.
@johnefrancis I used to make syrup from concentrates and the smell is very good ...
