It looks like the baffles on the Myriad and Legend stoves are soddered in. Have any of you had to replace these and how did you do it?
Thanks

My stove is the same the Baffles are welded in place.

If it's welded in, that could be true. If it's not welded, then as long as the rest of the stove is in good shape, just replace the necessary parts.
Yes they are welded in. I assumed[Apparently wrongly) that at some point they would have to be replaced similar to a gas outdoor grill. I also was looking at the nc30 and saw that the baffle tubes were listed in the parts website as replacements. So I thought the Drolet stoves would need to be replaced. With them being welded in, I didn't know how it could be done.
I would have called the company, but their website does not list a phone number which does not lend itself to good customer service when the need arises.

I'ed like to see a diagram of the baffle. I just put a stove into service that has a baffle that is held in by a angle iron frame, this frame sitting on upright bricks along the sidewalls.
Now you are mixing up different parts, Baffle is above tubes, In most stoves they are of a ceramic type material and generally are replaceable. There may or may not be a steel baffle above the ceramic one. The secondary air source tubes could be permanently mounted, not likely though as it is a groan to weld Stainless (most common material for tubes) to plain steel. I have also seen a baffle plate that is also the source of the secondary air ( again of stainless steel) Kind of on the order of the gas burners in a grill or furnace.

I have been researching this stove for some time & have been waiting for this topic to come up. It is interesting to think about creosote debris landing on top of a unremovable baffle unit & how to clean it off. I have been in some of the big box stores & looked closely at the baffle on this unit, it seems that a shop vac or brush could not access the top of it for cleaning
You are right. I am mixing the baffle with the tubes. The tubes seem to be permanently attached to a metal plate above them. The tubes do not appear to be ss. The plate and tubes look to be quite solid. I tried to see if there was some movement to the tubes similar to ss tubes under ceramic plates. They were in there solid, no movement at all.
For those of you who own Drplet stoves, how do you contact the company for questions or service issues?

Scroll down almost all the way for an internal sketch of a Drolet w/ SS steel combustion.

I just looked at the internal design, it is interesting indeed! Especially the primary air that runs up over the cobustion area ane blows down from above. I would love to look one over.
I would like to see one in operation.

When i clean the chimney I do it bottom up then i can access the fallen soot above the baffle. When i have pipes off i just take the vacum and suck out the soot that has fallen on to the top of the baffle.
I am concerned That with no way to clean the tubes out that sooner or later they may get clogged with carbon or something.

That is a great picture. I went back to the store to double check. The larger ht2000 has ss tubes that are separate pieces.
The picture you sent (of the Legend) shows the tubes and metal plate as one piece which it is. It's thick and very solid, no movement. The tubes are not glossy like ss.
Maybe these are suppose to last the life of the stove? I believe the Myriad (pedestal) and the Legend (legs) are very similar. I have not seen the Myriad in person so not sure
if the tube/baffle system is the same.

We have the Baltic and it does have a stainless steel baffle, burn tubes are "built in" and when you take off the stove pipe it is not to hard to clean out. It is a very solid unit without to many replaceable parts which is one reason i like it so much. I see us having this stove for a great many years to come. Good luck.

I agree. I have the Myriad and the top plate with the secondaries is a solid stainless plate and I truly believe it will outlast the rest of the stoves life span. Cleaning out the top is not bad with the flue off as it is only maybe about 8" from the flue collar to the opening in the firebox. Also keep in mind these have a bypass in the back of the firebox so the bypass will open up the back 3-4" almost straight up to the flue collar. Makes a top down cleaning a breeze. Open the bypass, run the brush down, sweep out the back, fire stove back up. I have seen almost no accumulation on top of the baffle. These are a little bit different design than alot of the tube stoves but a very solid and simple setup that works very well. 100% of the primary and secondary air come up from the back of the stove and over the top. There is only two air inlets with one the primary and the other the secondary air. There is no unregulated doghouse, zipper, or boost air on these stoves.
