Our Pacific Energy Super 27 was purchased in 2018. It has some secondary flames from the front of the baffle but mostly the secondary appear to be leaking from the rear of the baffle where it sits on the support. I cleaned the stove yesterday, removed the baffle and installed a new gasket.
I would like to correct this if it does not sound like it is operating correctly.
I will take the baffle out again in the next week or so, I will take a photo of the baffle then. Is there anything else I should do. Any tips or suggestion are welcomed.
Thanks!
- While the baffle was out I noticed that the rear of the baffle was thicker than the front, it seemed to be hinged at the front. Should this be a consistent thickness? I did not think to take a photo.
- The baffle is not sagged.
- The old gasket was stuck to the bottom of the baffle and not deteriorated too badly, I replaced this in 2020.
- When reinstalling the baffle, the pin holes did not line up great and it was hard to get the pin in place, the baffle appeared to be high (perhaps from the gasket)
- I lit another fire and most of the secondary flames still originate from the rear of the baffle.
I would like to correct this if it does not sound like it is operating correctly.
- does that baffle require maintenance or cleaning?
- I can make a rope gasket to try.
- does the air tube feeding the baffle require maintenance or cleaning.
I will take the baffle out again in the next week or so, I will take a photo of the baffle then. Is there anything else I should do. Any tips or suggestion are welcomed.
