Well, it's been about a month since I had to replace the cracked baffle in my new Mt. Vernon AE. It looks like it's time to replace it again. This time it has a nice long crack almost top to bottom. I thought Quadrafire had this figured out.
no pane said:should be warranty again. was it the updated on with the shorter droptube? maybe ask for the updated firepot too...

I assumed it was the updated baffle because the part number ended in SRV. I wasn't aware that there is an updated firepot. Where can I get more information on the difference in the baffle and firepots?
no pane said:I thought I read somewhere that on the new baffles the drop tube is shorter and doesn't contact the pot.
Also my firepot appears to be cast iron not ceramic?

fluemasterjr said:the "new" baffle is thicker than the old ones and the two center casting a the top have been removed. I believe that quad has had three different baffle designs. i have not seen any of the newest ones crack but only time will tell.
fluemasterjr said:i run the heck out of my AE 24-7 and some times hotter than i should to see if the baffle would crack no chance of yet. i did notice in my last shipment of parts there was an older baffle mixed in maybe you got and older one.
