    This is in the PM2000 owners manual it goes over vertical and horizontal venting and then has this. Is this implying you only need the baffles if attaching to an existing chimney? I currently have the baffles installed and I have 4pvl venting, 18" horizontal and 8 feet vertical. Should I...

    I have a Ravelli Roma pellet stove which is 1 year old. Last year I didn't have any problems but this year every time it goes to start up it fills with smoke and the combustion is so strong it shakes the stove and releases smoke into the room.

    Hearthstone Mansfield baffle support position

    I can't get my baffle support to sit upright, as the parts dialogue displays. As my photos 1-3 show, it flops down flat, essentially enveloping my front secondary tube.
