Description
The Drop Flue Pan Set diagrams below illustrate the difference between a Drop Flue Pan Set with and without Same Side Reverse. (Please note that the configuration of the 2′ x 4′ Pan Set with SSR is slightly different, but still follows the same general concept as below.)
On the standard configuration, you can reverse the flow of sap in the front pan by turning it 180º. In contrast, the Same Side Reverse System allows you to change direction of flow without ever moving the pan or dealing with plugs. You would simply swing the handles of two specialized Ball Valves.
The purpose of reversing the flow in the front pan is to eliminate the build-up of sediments on the floor of the pan. The frequency in which you will need to reverse the flow is dependent upon the speed at which sediments are being deposited the floor of the front pan. Typical volume of sediment varies greatly from region to region.
Note that the speed of freight shipping is dependent on our current inventory, the destination, the weather and also our freight carriers’ current load volumes. Please provide a commercial shipping address if possible. We will let you know if we foresee any problems. See freight terms for more details.

K&S Newhouse –
LOVE this pan! Highly recommend !!
We have tapped 75 trees for the last 15 years. We upgraded from a 2×4′ flat bottom stainless steel pan to Smoky Lake’s Drop Flue Pan 5 seasons ago. This drop flue pan is a work of art, finely tuned for the hobbyist, and does an excellent job making syrup. We adapted our homemade fire box to fit this drop flue pan.
The features we love:
+ 2X evaporation rate (25 gal/hr) compared to same size flat bottom pan (11 gal/hr max) on 2.2% sap sugar content
+ Uses less wood
+ Better syrup quality
+ More consistent syrup quality
+ Beautifully designed and constructed
+ Evaporating is no longer the pain point in the syrup making process
If you are on the fence, hopefully this review tips you to purchasing this pan. It’s been so much more fun making syrup since we bought this pan. We look back on the days when we use to boil all day and all night (because we didn’t want the sap to spoil or didn’t have the capacity to store it) and just shake our heads. Every year we finish the season stating “We love our Smoky Lake drop flue pan!”
