Hi guys.
Looking for some advise on the position of the “Baffle plate” in my
water heater.
In the images below you can see the green baffle plate in two different positions.
Normal
wood stoves have them open at the front (just above the door) but feel this is to bring the heat to the front of the stove, hence heating up the room.
As I want as much heat to stay inside my fire box, would moving through baffle opening to the back be better? Hopefully heating more of the steel that’s in contact with the
water?
Also wanted to check if placing fire bricks on the door would help keep the heat inside the fire box?
Many thanks Morten.
