i'm thinking that could be the proper quad post, just the position of the screw being on the back side makes it seem bigger.
but even so, it looks like it *might* be protruding farther than it should.
gonna need a shot of another stove to be sure.
or someone who knows exactly how it should be.
it could well be correct. i've never "looked" up the drop chute.
mines not a quad, but the auger is the same parts/assembly.
***i just took some shots. the heatilator chute actually has a baffle like plate in the drop chute.
looks like it's there to keep the grouping tight as the pellets drop to the firepot.
but it makes it impossible to see much up there. not that it's really relevant. same parts, but a somewhat different design.
the more i look at your pics, the more i see that that is the normal quad attachment post.
and if it was protruding too far into the opening, then it should also be too far down at the bottom.
i'm just guessing, but i think that's the way it's supposed to be.
i'm just amazed you are able to get a picture of the entire upper opening.
