Forty years we had the old smoke stack. When Lew and his friend Eric set up a crude sugar shack on Birch Hill in Stowe in the mid-seventies, a friend of Eric’s parents fashioned a stack for them in trade for syrup. It moved with the arch (salvaged forty years ago from a field on the Percy farm) to the original Nebraska Knoll sugarhouse with its cathedral ceiling and then thirty yards to the current sugarhouse. On cold boiling days the neighbors warmed their hands by holding them close to the old stack.
