Biggest issue is keeping it clean and cold. I generally pick my biggest snowbank, hollow it out just enough to fit a 5-gallon bucket, and store as much sap as I can before I start boiling it down. I usually boil it down over 2 days inside using propane. I really want to get set up with an outside wood burner, I could literally do GALLONS that way.

Good Evening! Weekend is almost here! We are going to have a busy one. Two kids birthday parties. Wife is going to a baby shower to, at least I get out of that one.
