Has anyone looked into there stove? im assuming they are supposed to be flat. Mine looks as though it's sagged 1'5 inches in the middle or is this a factory thing. Sure looks like fatigue, has any one else experienced this
 
Welcome Derek. That's uncommon. It definitely calls for some pictures. Do you have a thermometer on the stove top?
 
How old is the baffle? If your burning real hot, it is going to sag.
 
Thanks for the replies ill get some pics up. The stove is about 10yrs old and very lightly used till this year. I bought it used and I did notice a slight sag in it at the time but I'm sure it's dropped more. Also I have been burning it hot some nights. My concerns are if I'm in for a replacement/repairs next year or is this a common thing on these stoves.
 
Uncommon. Do you have a thermometer on the stove top? If so, what temps are you running it at?
 
Sag or no sag, the baffle will do what it is intended to do. Due to some issues early on with my Summit, my baffle has sagged pretty good, but still does the job as it did when it was new.
