Yup, my buggy is covered in shit now

Sap really took off again. Have to boil off a 120 qt cooler full this time.

Added a siphon between pans and a kludged pre-heater to help me maintain a rolling boil to beat the coming storm (7-12” forecast for little minneapolis tonight).

aren't you worried about burning the paint on you powered buggy?

sorta - but I felt it w bare hand first hour or two and it never got past a scorching summer sun temp

had I observed signs of degradation I would have put some sort of panels in place to block the IR radiation

oh - also, there are fire bricks lining the bottom 1/3 of the barrel - and an old deformed wood burning fireplace rack to lay wood on
