NC-30 Baffle Board Replacement

[bdiaz]

I had my first fire of the season last night due to it being 27 outside. I noticed a hole in one of the boards. When checking this site at one time I thought I seen some suggestions for replacement baffle boards that were cheaper on Ebay or something. Can anyone point me the right way? Thanks.

Over the years I have looked around for the stuff. It being 1/2" is the hard part. Not a thickness that is easy to find. To have a couple of spares I bought the "early bird kit" for $119 including shipping which gives ya two boards and a new door and window gasket with the cement for less than the usual price of the boards not to mention the added shipping.

take the board out and fill the hole with furnace cement.

This stuff is pretty close to what Englander uses and is quite reasonable. Size-wise it's enough for two replacement cycles on your NC30. It cuts easily with a serrated knife or a fine hacksaw blade. (Don't breathe the dust) I am using it in my Kent stove.

For a temp fix on a hole until you get the new board you plan on using, if you have any 1/4 in hardibacker or similar around, I'd cut a section off and cover the spot with it by placing it on top.

Why not just put kaowool on top of the baffle?
