Pf100 Upper Baffle

I just recently installed a Harman PF100 and have a question about it. I have burned about 1 1/4 ton and my upper heat exchange baffle looks all corroded on top where the fire hits it. Is this normal, or is there anything I can do to fix it. Thanks

Not a bad idea, maybe i'll weld something up and see how it works. You just use any steel, or was it high temperature stuff?

No one has had problems with the flames damaging their heat exchangers right. I'm just a little nervous because my flame hits it and the upper baffle on a call for heat. I'm also using a lot of pellets, but I probably can't complains my house is 4,000 sq ft with high ceilings and it's over 100 years old. Is there anything I can do to help lower my pellet consumption, because I am probably going to be using 2.5 ton + a month, during the cold months.

I did the install myself, and never checked the draft readings, will this cause any problems? My fire has no problems heating my house and it will run fine on a pilot burn without going out. Thanks for all the help

Don't know what the exact average temperatures have been, only burnt for a little over a month. Located in central KS, November wasn't bad outside but it's been cold in December, in the teens in the morning and 20's to low 30's during the last few days. Original part of the house is probably 2000 sq ft with old windows, new part is about 2000 sq ft with newer windows but high ceilings, about 1000 sq ft is finished basement, probably another 500 sq ft of unfinished basement. House has two 35 year old propane furnaces, I've added mine on to the one that heats the bottom 3000 sq ft. I currently and do not plan to have any heat source upstairs, stays decent up there. But yesterday i burnt a little under 5 1/2 bags in a 24 hour period, which is definitely more than I've been burning, I'm probably averaging about 4 days in 24 hours, with the high in the low 30's outside. I do not turn the thermostat down at night. Sorry for the long post.

Alright, I didn't figure there was a problem. Only lived in the house for a few months now, i believe the previous occupants went through 500 gallons of lp in a little over 2 weeks, granted it was with old furnaces and they liked it around 80 in the house, so i new I was gonna pay a bit. The only question that I never had answered was is there any problem with the fire hitting the heat exchangers a lot, such as damaging them like it does the upper baffle. Thanks a lot everyone.
