My dad has been tapping the old maple trees on his property in Homeworth, Ohio for a few years. Up until this year, he and my mom have been boiling down the sap over high BTU propane burners. This year, I was able to convince my dad to set up a wood burning rig.
He went all out, converting an old grain shed to a sugar shack, putting in trap doors in the ceiling to let steam out, and installing lighting. He's been playing around with the firebox design to try to keep all of the heat from going up the stack. I think he's enjoying it more than when he was using propane.
