I won't try "quote" again...

[quote user="Théière"]Where is it now? [/quote] It's in its original position: the front is resting on two side brackets at the top of the fire box, and the rear sits lower at the back. The plate is at an angle of about 40 degrees. This morning I took the plate out, cleaned it and set it horizontally on the lugs. But the plate was visible with the door closed so that is not an option, me thinks...

Oops - sorry about the HTML mess. Wasn't me, sir!! What I said was: So I should move the baffle plate so it rests horizontally on the lugs? Right? Thanks, Théière, for the quick response!!

[quote user="Théière"]you think you have one of those, or the lugs it rests on? [/quote] I have the baffle plate AND the lugs (had to check that word out... ) [quote]yes wood burners have them to increase the heat in the burn/combustion chamber and to slow down the heat lost up the chimney so it can warm more of the mass of the stove. [/quote] So I should move the baffle plate so it rests horizontally on the lugs? Right? Thanks, Théière, for the quick response!!

Four years ago I bought a Supra wood burning stove, model HF 3950, on eBay. I installed it myself; connected the rear flue to the chimney tube and it was done. There has always been one problem: it refuses to run gently with the damper pushed in. No way can I have it ticking over all night. Searching this forum led me to “baffle plate”. I think I have one of those! It sits at the top of the combustion chamber and slopes down, from the top of the front to the rear. I note that there are, on each side of the fire box, projections on which, maybe, the plate could sit? One post mentioned “horizontal baffle plate”…. Advice and guidance will be most welcome! Thanks.
