SUPPORT THE BAFFLE. BE SURE TO WEAR SAFETY GLASSES IF
YOU DO THIS!) Once the old baffle is out, continue removing as much
of the dried furnace cement as you can.
10.Insert the new baffle. Lower the door side of the baffle first and then
carefully lower the combustor side. Due to normal variances from stove
to stove it is very possible that the baffle will not fit right in. If it does
not, then move the baffle up and down where it gets caught which will
leave a visible mark on the stone and casting. Either grind some material
off the baffle or use a putty knife and hammer to carefully remove just
enough stone to allow the baffle to rest on the vertical supports naturally.
11.
Insert new 5/16” gasket along the perimeter of the baffle and then apply a
bead of furnace cement over it. Use your fingertip (you may want to put
a piece of plastic wrap over your finger first) to press the cement firmly
into the seam and leave a smooth finished look.
