Into the woods by 6:00 AM to cook. Thunderstorm overnight means more snow based on folklore. Cloudy with rain and drizzle all day. Temperature 54 at 7:00 AM. Dropped to the mid 40s by afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No problems with the R\/O. Tried to maintain 7 Brix. We didn’t get sustained boils until we mixed maple and other hardwood with the pine and cedar. Softwood burns too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
