Remove Baffles on Pleasant Hearth 1800

[Jack Carlsson]

Have a Pleasant Hearth 1800 installed by previous owners. No manual. Trying to sweep chimney after first burning season and need to remove the baffles.

Looking up into the stove I see three metal bars. The front two bars have little bolts on the right side. Do I just remove those bolts, slide out the bars, and then lift/angle-out the Baffles? Or is it more complicated?

Is the Pleasant Hearth baffle system similar to some other manufacturer who might have youtube videos?

Thanks for any help.

Usually you can unbolt the bars and slide the baffle out. Be careful as they are pretty fragile and are expensive to replace.
