I had this started in another thread, but it really should be it's own.
Corie replied that if they are different, the one with smaller holes would go in back. I had written to Englander and they wrote back that the one with LARGER holes goes in back. Then I asked for clarification since I had gotten Corie's response here first and they sent me these two PDFs. The holes are identical in size according to the spec sheet and as far as I can tell the only difference is the angle of the holes coming out. On my stove, all holes point towards the front. If I'm reading these spec sheets right then the rear tube the holes should end up pointing towards the back/top of the stove. But this is accounting for the mounting screws being at the rear of the tube like they are in my stove. Maybe on later stoves they moved the mounting screw so it's easier to get at and thus made also moved the tab on the secondary burn tube?
Corie, are the secondary burn tubes the same front and back? Someone at some point mentioned they were different but I had mine out yesterday and they look the same. Then I checked the manual and they have the same part number, but online they are listed as two separate parts numbers.
