I will say that it was really easy to grow Virginia Gold, and we live in a pretty crazy climate not conducive to growing tobacco. But I watered it and gave it some fertilizer and it grew non stop! Then I hung it in my garage for 8 weeks. It was so easy. Then mix the syrup into it and there ya have it. Thanks for watching, let us know how it goes!

They were! Thanks for watching!!!!!!!

Thanks man and thanks for watching!

It’s well worth the effort. We live in a place not at all conducive to growing tobacco and I can’t believe (with only some fertilizer) how easy it was to grow. So we grew it and dried it and used this recipe to make it and now I have it for free (we have a few videos on how I grow it). And don’t have to drive to the gas station to get more! As long as you don’t live in the arctic, it’s really worth trying in my opinion. Thanks for watching and good luck!!

Thanks for taking the time to write this! We really appreciate and we’ll subscribe to you as well! TH-cam is a grind but like they say, “it only takes one”. Thanks for watching-fingers crossed it’s a great maple season!!!!!

@SweetMapleRidge Indeed... I'm hoping it's a snowball rolling down hill... and I just got the ball rolling lol! Im glad I saw this, the CDL was on my list as an option for this spring!

@@UptoSomethingOutdoors just don’t give up, you’ll get there! As for the vacuum filter…. We just bought a filter press from Smoky Lake Maple Products. We’ll probably do a review of it at some point once the season is over. But we can’t take another year of the vaccuum filter. I’m sorry to say but it’s the worst. Thanks again for watching!

Of course! True, and thanks for watching my friend!!!!

I'll definitely try that next time! Thanks for watching and commenting, we really appreciate it!!

It definitely packs a punch! Thanks for watching, and every time we make it it will get a little better. Happy thanksgiving!

Some chew or tobacco plants!? Thanks for watching!!!!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That’s a good point! Thanks for watching and happy thanksgiving!

They do and this definitely turned out amazing. We couldn’t believe how easy it was to grow tobacco, and to dry it. Makes me wonder why everyone who likes chewing tobacco doesn’t do this! Thanks for watching!!!!!

Thanks and thanks for always watching our shenanigans!!!!!!!! Happy thanksgiving!!!!!!!

Us too! We’re happy to have you as a viewer! Happy thanksgiving!

They make the most delicious pumpkin pie ever. Try our recipe and let us know what you think. Thanks for watching, and happy thanksgiving!

Great! Thanks for watching :)

It’s amazing. The smell is incredible too. The best part is it’s from our garden and I can’t believe how easy tobacco is to grow. Thanks for watching!

I don’t know anything about that but I feel like the nicotine definitely is absorbed, at least for me. It’s fairly strong (for someone who doesn’t dip anymore). Does calcium carbonate help make it absorb more effectively? Thanks for watching!

Yes. The dips especially and some chews use a very basic compound that helps with nicotine absorption.

Thank you so much for the info!

Good question, you need SCOBY to get it started. It’s cheap through Amazon! Thanks for watching!

I understand it helps to break the sweetness of the molasses and reduced apple cider. You can’t taste it and you could probably leave it out. Thanks for watching as always!

Salt is a flavor enhancer and to most people makes just about anything tastes better. People put salt in bread dough, pasta water, coffee, beer, oatmeal etc

😂😂😂😂😂I wish!!!!!!!! Thanks for watching my friend!

I think they ferment it

I don’t but I’ve watched other TH-cam videos where people have made a square wooden box and packed tobacco in there and left it for a few weeks to turn it into plug. Would definitely be something good to try!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Very possible! It’s hard to find chewing tobacco anymore, at least where we are. I don’t use it very much at all (I used to several years ago before I quit totally) but I do like it!

I'm from country in KY , northern KY 100 South of Cincinnati

Shelby county was a big tobacco growing country but its slowly dwindled down since the 80 s

It’s delicious that’s for sure. Thanks for watching my friend!

SCOBYs are pretty cool! Thanks for watching!!!!!

It taste great! Just like Levi Garrett! Thanks for watching!!!!!!

Thanks, and thanks for watching!

Good question! It is on a pretty decent slope so it will drain back into the IBC tote. Or we can put in some buckets. Thanks for watching!

That’s right!!!!! Haha thanks for watching as always!!!!!

Oh we definitely agree. Thanks for watching!!!

I didn’t know that, thanks for taking the time to comment! Thanks for watching, as always!

Awesome!!!!!!! @smokylakemaple we got you a customer!!!!! Thanks for watching as always!

It’s about 7-10 gallons. But we’ll allow that sap to run back into our IBC tote or drain it into a bucket just so it doesn’t freeze and cause pipe damage. Thanks so much for watching!

3/4” pipe in 900’ is roughly 20 gallons. it’s around .022 gal/ft in a full 3/4”

No kidding, I didn’t know that! Thanks for watching my friend!

I should have kept watching, you answered my question!

@@B-picklesjust 8-10 trees would be enough to put up a system like this. This way, you don’t have to go out and collect buckets! All your sap flows into one big container. Thanks for watching!

It definitely makes the process so much easier!

That’s great!!!! Talk about having peace of mind. Thanks for watching!!!!!!!!

How old is the variety you plant?

@@SweetMapleRidge My grandmother told me she had been planting the same seeds for over 30 years when she shared them with me a few years ago!

We are so glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!!!!!!

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching sir!

That’s so cool! We are so glad you like it!

That’s great!!!!!! You’re gonna love the Dauntless. I’ll have part 2 of this out soon; how to hang the mainline. If you do this you’ll be in business! How many sugar maples do you have? Are you tapping red maples and sugar maples, or just sugar maples?

@ almost unlimited I have to limit myself to one hundred or so. My neighbors claim they will help collect.

Thanks! We’re glad you’re enjoying it so far!

We’re excited to share the next one! Thanks for watching!!!!

For sure, and thanks for watching! Stored and free water is always a good thing!

Thanks for watching my friend! We found you need somewhere around 150 gallons of raw sap to evaporate before you’re getting any syrup. It doesn’t sound like you’ll have that much, so going with the Starcat may be better. Last year we had 110 taps and it was well suited for the Dauntless; this year we may double that. Thanks again for watching!

How do you like your blower kit? I think we’re going to add that this year. Thanks for watching!

@@SweetMapleRidge love it they say it gives you 10 percent more efficiency.
