First boiling sap for 2026. #canada #ottawa #maplesyrup

[cawguy@thecanadian.social]

@johnefrancis Based on past experience, how long or how much propane will it take for that one pot?

[edwing@mstdn.moimeme.ca]

@johnefrancis Usually how early or late in the season this happens?

@johnefrancis ooooo #SugarShack !!

[johnefrancis@cosocial.ca]

@CAWguy maybe 10lbs.

[johnefrancis@cosocial.ca]

@EdwinG about Feb 15 - April 30. Very dependent on weather, needs freeze-thaw cycles.

[johnefrancis@cosocial.ca]

tipped the cart and spilled about 100L of sap on the road! 🤬

Using a new cart this year and loaded 100kg all in one end and it wheelied.

Oh well, I don't think I had room for it all, huge run of sap in past 24h. I have 24h worth of boiling to make more room.

@johnefrancis luckily that's only 2.5L of syrup.

Still, this is coming off your pay.

@johnefrancis oh no! The strategic reserve!
