Brass Flame KS805 with warped baffle plates

[Riverjamie]

I posted. Back in 2022 about my warped baffle plates. My first question is the warped baffle plates a problem when burning? Does anyone with a Brass Flame KS805 stove have warped baffle plates and have any problems? If yes did anyone replace them? Where did you get them or how did you replace them?

Also using Duraflame logs.
FIRST I KNOW YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO USE DURAFLAME LOGS IN THE STOVE. How I was using the logs was to cut a six pound log into thirds. Then put a 2 pound piece and a piece of a pressed log (Siskq). They seemed to burn good but after about 21 cut pieces of the Duraflame logs the spark arrester screens clogs up. I think the Duraflame is the problem. So I have to go up a clean the spark arrester. The flue is very clear not much build up. So not going to us the Duraflame logs any more.

Here’s a picture of my warped baffle plates. You can see how their sagging in the middle where there overlap. It’s mainly the baffle plate without the overlap piece.
