Description
Now the supreme quality and performance of American-made evaporators from Smoky Lake Maple Products can be enjoyed by the smallest hobby level maple syrup producer on the most modest of budgets. We’ve achieved this feat through large scale mass production of a proven, bolt-together design. Assembly is made easy through precision fitment of quality parts. Best of all, the Dauntless is built as an expandable platform, allowing the evaporator’s production rate to be increased as the operator’s tap count increases.
Just like the larger, professional-grade Evaporators offered by Smoky Lake, the Dauntless features an insulated airtight door, forcing combustion air to be drawn through the fire from underneath while keeping cold air from leaking in and cooling the underside of the pans. The Dauntless arch is even 100% insulated with 1" thick ceramic fiber insulation. This channels the heat into the sap while keeping the sides of the arch at a safe temperature. The combustion chamber is then lined with cut-free firebrick to ensure longevity.
The producer has the option to crown the Dauntless arch with any one of three styles of 20" wide x 4' long pan systems. The three pan systems, can be swapped out at any time as the maple producer’s needs change or their tap count grows. The versatility of the Dauntless is unmatched by any other brand. Dauntless allows the producer to buy the arch (firebox) one time, then make smaller investments/upgrades/adjustments as their needs change.

We used the Dauntless evaporator for the first time today (3-2-24) and would highly recommend it to others! Compared to our old system it was truly amazing. We boiled off approximately 50 gallons of sap on a Saturday afternoon and with our old system this would have taken 3x as long. We did not use high quality hardwood but what wood we did have was dry. We had a cold snap for two days and our sap was frozen. Chipping chunks of frozen sap and setting them into the pan carefully had to have slowed our boiling time but it was still a fantastic experience. I would recommend getting the sight glass if you order any of their evaporators as the steam coming off the boiling sap makes it hard to see the sap level in the pan. We filled over the recommended optimal level because we were inexperienced in knowing how the evaporator would work. Great experience to drive down and pick up the Dauntless, great folks to deal with, great product! Thank you!

Bought and used my Dauntless w/flat pan last season. It’s the first time I’ve used a real evaporator. What a great unit. We started with 45 taps, after a boil or two we got a good handle on keeping a good boil going. Averaging 11.5 gallons an hour with a mix of good dry and some just ok wood. Dry wood is the key to a great boil.
Smoky Lake was great to deal with, questions answered, ordering and delivery all spot on. We’re looking forward to this season with a few more taps and hopefully a great flow.
