Here are some photos. Jay interesting pics on the Omega, bafflle and air wash valves. Are those adjustable?
Will post more pics later. Need to take advantage of the weather and install my pipes, rake yard,
put away boat, pull out snowblower..............got a go!
The baffle is not adjustable. It just bolts to the stove body on the Omega. But if I elongate the bolt holes in the baffle plate?? I guess it could be. Looks like the M55 baffle is welded to the stove body. I can't see the valve either. I think its in the ash pan area(on the front below the plate under the door). Pretty sure its only has one and its rivetted to the stove body.

Is the M55 baffle really welded to the stove body. I think the Quad AE has some issues with the baffles cracking but they were replaceable. Does this mean you can't change out the heat exchanger baffles on the M55? Maybe a dealer could clear this up.

Then it is likely one side of that air wash is closed up more than the other, it could be because of a slot width difference, or because ash gets blown to one side more than the other due to imbalance in air flow through the burn pot into the exhaust system at the heat exchanger.
The air wash could be coming through the gap in the door way on the stove body along the bottom. No need to have it suck air in around any of the glass edges.
