    Tapping into the knowledge here.
    I have this woodstove in my barn. Doesnt get much use except when i am out there for an extended period of time and project is too large to bring in workshop. It is nice to be able to work in front of this or warm up for a few minutes.
    I think i will be adding a baffle. Idea is that it will sit even with the top of the door and as wide as the middle of the pot setter flats. So it will be open on the ends. Anything wrong with that?
    So secondary tubes will go in each end. Should this be above the baffle at 12'oclock position? Or or under the baffle towards the rear, say 3'oclockish? Note the air jacket at rear.
    Thanks in advance!

    My fireview had a round baffle over the flu inside the stove, yours did not?

    I don't have a picture of it, it is kind of like a chimney cap only upside down.
    3, 1 inch steel strips coming down about 4-5 inches then a round steel plate attached to them.
    I sold mine for $175

    Right where I want to be.
    The burn tubes need to be under the baffle, on the firebox side.
    One hole at each end for the tubes? Do you plan to regulate the air intake?
