It’s tough to say for sure because each tree is different, but a rough estimate I use is that each tap will yield an average of one quart per season. So if you wanted to aim for a gallon of finished syrup, four taps should give you that. Hope that helps!
I've been looking at Masons for awhile now... Would you say you're getting consistent 10 gph boil rate on this or possibly more? Great rig...thanks for posting, man!
Thanks for the feedback! Yes I would say that 10 gph from lighting the fire to shutting it down is average. I know it rips through sap much faster once everything is rolling good but that’s harder to count. I would highly recommend getting a WF Mason if you’re looking!
I came for the boil, I stayed for the hat.
Haha love it, thank you my friend!
I’d love to be able to make my own maple syrup. How much syrup do you think you could get out of 4-5 maple trees?

@@scottthornandhisbeesandtrees thanks!
That is amazing. I wish Maple trees would grow where I live...
Thank you my friend. I was surprised when I learned that maples were an eastern tree. Thanks for watching!
I can almost smell it cooking!
For sure! And it’s a more reliable predictor of spring than a groundhog 😂
