Century Heat FW3000SD question" OK that thread on shows your steel baffle!! It is the old model and has a hollow center - so it's a "double" steel baffle!! Very wild. THAT clarifies everything. thanks
"Mine has a hollow steel baffle that is part of the secondary air system. The back part of the baffle is made of firebrick." -
from another thread called, "Century heat FW3000" (2017) - I knew I wasn't just making up what I was seeing. haha. It's a DOUBLE baffle!!
That baffle is WILD
Does that baffle contain the secondary air system? It does on my little Century.
The secondary arid tubes are UNDERNEATH though? Strange.
My guess is that the air in between was supposed to insulate the metal to cool it down?
Or I suppose it increases the air flow to the secondary air tubes - even though the tubes are below the baffle - and it preheats the secondary air.
the secondary intake is hidden somewhere under the metal OAK mounting flange that is welded in place directly under the firebox inside the pedestal. The secondary air comes up into the firebox through a 2x2 metal tube in the gap shown between the rear wall firebricks and connects into the integral perforated baffle.
