burnt my sap

Totally bummed. I know it wasn't a lot, but I burned my sap for the first time. I have been doing this for 5 years.
I have gotten no sap for the last two days so I as finishing up the 5 gallons I had gotten. At 40 : 1, it was  not too much more than a cup or two.
I called Slattery's. They said not to give up, I should get lots of sap this weekend. They do vacuum pump theirs.
I am going to set a friend up to Sap too. That should be fun.

This set up is great. I got the idea from Mr. Ken Baker, biology and A&P teacher extraordinare.

 I really should be using stainless steel. I will from now on, especially as the pan you see now is a blackened mess.
