- Stop the sap waste. Our 5/16" spiles create a snug, friction-fit seal that prevents leaks. Paired with the included precision drill bit and 3-foot tubing drops, you get a clean path from tree to bucket - more sap collected, less mess. - Made for first-time tappers. Step-by-step instructions and five recipe cards guide you from tap to table - no guesswork on when to drill, how deep, or when your syrup is done. Matched components mean everything fits right out of the bag. - Aim for crystal-clear syrup. The included heavy-duty filter and five pre-filters remove sugar sand and debris in one pass. Most kits skip the filter - ours includes a complete two-stage system so your first batch looks professional. - Built to last. Reusable spiles, thick-wall tubing, and washable filters hold up season after season - so you're not rebuying gear every year. Rinse with warm water, dry thoroughly, store properly, and you're set for next winter. - Everything in one bag. 10 spiles, 10 tubing drops (3 ft each), 1 heavy-duty filter, 5 pre-filters, 1 drill bit, 5 recipe cards, and a detailed instruction sheet. No hunting for parts - just add a bucket and a heat source, and you're ready for your first batch.

Complete 10-Tap System

Open the bag and start tapping. Every component is matched to work together ? no extra parts to buy.

Step 1 of 3

The included 5/16 inch bit matches the spiles exactly. Drill 2 inches deep at a slight upward angle.

Step 2 of 3

Slide the tubing onto the barbed end of the spout. Tap the spile in lightly with a light hammer.

Step 3 of 3

Sap runs on warm days above freezing. One tap can produce 10 gallons of sap per season. Check daily.

The Payoff

40 gallons of sap makes 1 gallon of syrup. Filter through the included two-stage system and bottle.

Do I need any experience to use this kit?

None. The kit is designed for first-time tappers. The included guide walks you through tree selection, drilling depth, spile placement, sap collection, boiling, and filtering a€” step by step. Thousands of beginners have started with this exact kit.

What trees can I tap, and how many do I need?

Sugar maples are ideal, but red maples, silver maples, and box elders also produce sap. Each tree (10 inches or wider) supports one tap. This kit includes 10 taps a€” enough for a small backyard sugarbush.

How much syrup will I actually make?

On average, 40 gallons of sap boils down to 1 gallon of syrup. With 10 taps over a 4-6 week season, most first-time tappers produce 1-2 gallons a€” enough to fill your pantry and share with neighbors.

What else do I need that isn't in the kit?

A food-safe bucket or container for sap collection (5-gallon works great) and a heat source for boiling a€” a propane burner, turkey fryer, or large stock pot on a camp stove. The kit handles everything else.

Will this kit last more than one season?

Yes. Rinse components with warm water after the season, dry thoroughly, and store in a cool place. The spiles, tubing, drill bit, and filters are all built for repeat use. One purchase, many seasons of syrup.
