hearthstone II rebuild

[nne2]

hey-can someone tell me if the top baffle on hII is supposed to have two droops in it in between the bolts which hold it up? or did somebody overfire it and melt them?
enquiring minds want to know.
thanks. ed.

HI Edd,

I had a H II and I had to replace the top baffle. The baffle was a straight piece of thick (1/2 inch or so) metal with a slight curve on one end. There should not be any droops.

However, I had to replace mine because it had holes in it. That effects the operation tremendously. A few droops don't hurt it at all, as long as the droops are not affecting the edge where the air valve hits the baffle.
