Thank you for the reply. I can certainly imagine how much things have changed in the past 100 years. Do the regulations you mentioned above only apply to large scale commercial operations that you are still able to use buckets and galvanized metal? If so, is this exemption what allows you to still sell your syrup to the public? I know CT passed some new regulations, last year I believe it was, so will have to review these further. If I read them correctly, to sell to the public I will need to apply for an exemption and/or license, as there are two methods/ways to do it.
I certainly plan on looking into/using the plastic poly tanks as you mentioned. I will also be using wood to fuel the evaporator as you mentioned. There is plenty of it around in the form of fallen trees and those that need to come down, so I might as well use it. For tree ID I have been starting to reach out to local maple producers for help with ID, regulations, and to try to find cheaper used equipment.
Thank you for answering my questions. The only other question I have is regarding if I should also tap red maples/other maples or not? Thank you for the quick reply and for sifting through my long paragraph of questions. Your advice regarding tree size and tap placement is also greatly appreciated. I have enjoyed what I have done so far making syrup so I hope to continue to do so.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
