    Home made maple syrup.... MONEY 2-26-16

    For me making maple granulated sugar is easy. Boil maple syrup to 260 remove from heat and stir, and stir, and stir some more. Your arm will get a workout doing this. As it is being stirred sugar crystals will start to form and at some point, this can happen fairly quickly, it will turn to a...

    Looking good Dave. The start of sugar'in season is always a tough call. Hind sight is always 20/20. We usually have several false starts weather wise. I always aim for the end of the second week in Feb. But come mid Jan I really watch the weather. I have tapped as early as the second week in...

    MES Door Glass

    Went looking for the Dawn foaming soap, no luck. AT least at Wally-World. Will have to look at our stores in area. I will have to try the rubbing alcohol thing. We always have that at the house. Not sure if I would use the oven cleaner, I guess if I heated it back up after cleaning to "burn"...

    MES Door Glass

    Thanks guys, I'll look for that cleaner, Dawn foamy Soap tomorrow when we for groceries. I just wasn't sure what was found as a good way to clean. I did not try any cleaners as I did not want to have that residue burn off during a smoke and impart a flavor that is not good. So RainX is safe? I...

    MES Door Glass

    So how do you all keep the glass on the door of the MES's clean? I kind of figured that it would have smoke residue on it after each smoke but figured that I could easily wipe it clean each time. Today I did my first smoke and afterwards I wiped the inside down. I got most of the residue off...

    Home made maple syrup.... MONEY 2-26-16

    Making maple candy is an art, one that I have not master myself yet. Early season syrup makes better candy than late season syrup. it has to do with how much invert sugars are in the syrup, the more invert sugars the least likely it will make candy. I am not that big on peanut brittle but I...

    I try to keep it running at 25" of vac. As for using maple syrup in smoking that is how I kind of ended up here. We have been substituting maple syrup/sugar in our cooking and recently got the inch to do some smoking. I figured that I could combine the two. Maple sugar can be substituted 1...

    Home made maple syrup.... MONEY 2-26-16

    Yeah I run vacuum on  my trees. You get more even sap flows from day to day with vac. There is a lot of new research in using natural vacuum in tubing setup. Basically, on a steep slope the tubing full of sap has enough weight to "pull" the sap from the trees just like a system that uses a...

    Home made maple syrup.... MONEY 2-26-16

    Glad to see that there are a few maple maniac's here. It is an addiction to say the least. Every time that walk thru the woods I find myself see more maples to tap. I currently have about 225 trees that I tap. Last season I made about 70 gals of syrup. My sap sugar content was very low...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Trying to find the best price on a MES 40 and the prices seem to be all over the place. I actually found a place that was selling it for way above the price listed on Masterbuilt's website???? I found Amazon has it for $499 without stand. Bass Pro has it $479 with stand, gloves and a DVD...

    Thanks Bauchjw, I saw a MES 30 at HomeDepot the other day and it had the add on feet. I did not look to see if the feet had wheels. If I decide to go this route for a smoker I would be ok with a cover and leave it on the patio but the "powers to be" think that any thing more than the grill out...
