Galvanized buckets?

Maybe some better road care?

I kinda wonder if the outdoor boiler is the smartest way to go.  The indoor ones would probably work better if they had a lot more ventilation.

I kinda wonder about the quality with the galvanized stuff, the garden hoses, the little pump and the wooden lids.

I like the milk jug approach on this one.  Good for small timers.

I think that using plastic with cold stuff is okay, but when they use plastic with the hot stuff, I would worry about plastic stuff getting into the syrup.

Good ole mason jars for storage.  Seems pretty smart.  No need for a boiling water bath I suppose.
