    There are two different configurations of a Smoky Lake Drop Flue Pan Set. These two configurations each have a different method of reversing the direction of sap flow in the front pan. (This is to eliminate sediment build-up.) With the standard configuration, flow is reversed by turning the front pan 180º. In contrast, the Same Side Reverse System allows you to change direction without ever moving the pan or dealing with plugs. More information below.

    Description

    Standard Configuration Versus Same Side Reverse System

    The Drop Flue Pan Set diagrams below illustrate the difference between a Drop Flue Pan Set with and without Same Side Reverse. 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.

    1. Will Ewen –

      I bought the 2×4 drop flue set with same side reverse. I also added the sight glass for the float box (highly recomended). Customer service and craftsmanship are 2nd to none! Even on my home made arch I’m getting 30 gal/hour and some of the nicest syrup I’ve ever made! The more I use this set, the more I realize how much thought went into the design. Smoky Lake has a life long customer in me!

    2. james&sundy stanford –

      We have a 2×8. Hitting 90 gallons/hour with dry slab wood. The blower makes awesome heat available for boiling. 10 – 20 gallons syrup each day. Simply enjoyable to use. 2019 season is about done, cannot wait for next year!!!
