    Further, Scruffy... your pizza was like a multi-purpose tool: there were at least three edible bites (making it legit food)... aaand... several sections of it could serve as briquettes for barbequing or for road marking on lighter concrete.

    So your pizza wins!
    I hate you. 
    Dont you have some maple syrup to collect?
    You collect sap, you make it into syrup.

    You're welcome.

    It's incredibly simple.  In spring, Sugar Maples of a certain size have a thin, clear sap that runs for a short time.  During that time you tap the tree to collect the sap and boil it down into syrup.
    Typically it takes about 40 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup if you are using appropriately sized sugar maples, up to 100 to 1 if using Birch or Hickory.

    Nope, not blessed with an abundance of maples, mostly elm, oak, cherry, and an uncommon number of hickory.  Good lumber value, close to 10,000$ on less than 4 acres!
    Sugaring is too much a pain for a small homestead anyways.  As I said, 40-1 volume means a whole lot of boiling for a little syrup.  Must be done outdoors or walls and ceiling get slimy/sticky.  Big outfits use a special evaporator.
    I used to tap trees and run lines for a local Boy Scout camp for free syrup and 4$ and hour when I was a teen.
    Now I buy local Amish maple syrup.
    I'll take maple syrup over honey every day of the week when it comes to flavor, but honey is a miracle of nature.

    My neighbor behind me tapped his maple tree this year, I couldn't quite see that was what he was doing at 1st. But he had this propane burner running off a tank in backyard I could see and wasn't sure what it was for. I thought he was cooking meth lol, until I saw him move the tap on tree.
    I live in a residential neighborhood, so that's why I thought it was weird for him to be tapping tree. It was a big maple by the way and don't know what he got off it for yeild

    I think 10-20 gallons sap is average for each tap, each tree gets one tap until it's something like a 25 inch diameter.
    So your neighbor probably yeilded 1-3 quarts.

    It's nice to make your own, a real delight, but not worth it for me.
