xtrordinair combustor - picture?

[xtrodinair ny]

Does anyone have an xtrordinair wood insert ? i am trying to figure out what the piece of metal is that is behind the combustor but before the forks on the bypass rod. Thanks!

Is it the horizontal plate, then it's the the by-pass plate?

Can you elaborate? Is there an issue?

I dont think it is the bypass plate there is still a by pass on the end orf the bypass rod

Looks like you don’t have an insert, it looks like you have a fireplace. Is it a 44 or 36 Elite?
That metal piece is a diverter for the exhaust, it prevents it from going straight up the flue.

Thank you. its the 36. should the diverter be stationary or should it move when the bypass is pulled ?

Its stationary.

Thank you. should it be right behind the cumbustor ? the one i have is moving, leaning backward at an angle on the bypass rod. i see a grove where it could go right behind the cumbustor but the cumbustor may press against it.

It does move a little, but it doesn't matter, it's just a diverter.

If it’s in the correct place it shouldn’t be leaning I wouldn’t think.
