Nothing went right during our first boil in 2023

[@westsumnersugar51]

While is never fun to see other producers having issues....its nice to know we aren't the only one having issues. Luckily our only first boil issue was a busted fitting on our sap transfer pump. Good luck on the rest of your season!

No every producer has a few gremlins that they have to work out the first few days

Sounds like you got a nice welcome, to 2023 sugaring season. Nice save on all the curveball’s sent to you. Like the new HP. In the hood. All frozen up here in Northern VT.

[@dunnfamilymaple]

that was one of the longest most stressful days sugaring. The horse power is really nice. We are froze up here for a week or so too.

[@Sawyersmaple]

Boy looks like you had all kinds of fun. At least you didn’t burn a pan or the syrup.

[@dunnfamilymaple]

Fun....right. The first boil just like the first sap run when chasing leaks is always a blast

[@markdadian3323]

Your my hero.

[@dunnfamilymaple]

I mean thank you, but do I dare ask why?

[@terrybrown9206]

Good little operation

[@dunnfamilymaple]

Always growing and getting better

[@billchriswell2925]

"I'll get it next year!" I say that a lot.

[@dunnfamilymaple]

every year I say, "I'm gonna be ready in time" it never happens

[@dunnfamilymaple]

man talk about stress

[@countryroadslife]

Called a sugar maker with 30+ years operating last year. I said hey I think I may have made a mistake (it was something regarding my RO) first thing he says is “if your not making mistakes then your probably not making syrup”

[@dunnfamilymaple]

That's so true

[@Zippy1wood.]

Bet you didn’t fall asleep that night to quick all wound up lol

[@dunnfamilymaple]

no it was a stress full night

[@802louis]

It happens to all of us I know I always has a big list and always had problems with the first board now the problem is everything is frozen we’re -9°

[@dunnfamilymaple]

Things change after the first boil every year and by the end of the season you can do it with your eyes closed

@@dunnfamilymaple yes Seems like we’re on auto pilot after annoying exactly what to expect
