Hi, I've got a old riteway that needs a new baffle the original had the little center plate held in with pins. I tried a solid piece and left a air space but it's still too much draft. Anyone familiar? Could you just cover the entire baffle area and what gauge steel help! Connie

i have a retired #37 that has many good and usable pieces. pretty sure i know what you are talking about even if not the words i would use.
please take a pic of the area of the stove where this piece is. i'll be able to tell whats missing. if we can make a positive ID i'll send you everything connected to it.

Steve, can't send a pic just yet. More info. It's on the right side of stove directly below the flue body with the pull out rod. The piece is 12" wide and 9" high. The piece has a smaller rectangle cover plate which is centered in the plate held in with suppport pins. What is on there now is a metal plate I had fabricated I left a 1/2 inch gap on the top and it burns toooo hot. I get there's two different styles of riteway 37 from around that era. The one you can buy online isn't the one. Combustible flue baffle with flue baffle plate you'll know what it is when you see it. Thanks Connie. It's pretty cold in alaska today

ok i'll add some and you can tell me if i'm thinking of the correct item. these were kind of fast pics so i appologize in advance.
if yes you can use just about anything to make the opening smaller, even tin foil. using foil just fold a piece over on itself till it's about the right width and length to lay on top of the cover you have and move it "forward" till you have about the width of a "penny" still open and try that.
i should have asked if you are burning wood or coal ? do you have the little box with the numerals and the dial up above the part we are talking about ? there should be a "ball chain" between the two.

PS i really need a pic of your stove. if my second thought is correct you might need something more as a quick fix.

went back and re read your post. are you talking about the baffle assembly and plate INSIDE the stove that regulates the direct draft or down draft functions ?
my "bypass" damper assembly and plate should be the same as yours but there are no pins in it.
i can see you're having way too much draft if you have a 1/2" of opening at that position during operation.

I realize this post is from last month but, the small piece held with the 2 pins is where the catalytic combustor was installed. I believe these started after 1982. So I think she is looking for the plate between the lower flue and bypass damper.

thanks,

Sounds like draft inlet hinge plate. The gap is to be regulated by conneted bead-chain raised or lowered by a bi-metallic coil and dial control above.
1/2" is way too much to slow the fire, a dime thickness is plenty...or use a paper clip.

this was my first thought too, but the "cat" remark took me off guard.
i agree about the "dime" size opening. when running my #37 for yrs. i had the bead chain unhooked and kept a dime under the front "lifting" edge full time and let the draft run wild. still only used 3 ton a season no matter what outside conditions.

picture #1 is of the plate held in by "pins". i think this is what Alderson was talking about on Jan 24th 2018.
This is directly above the lower flue opening and below the baffle for indirect mode
picture #2 is the combustor behind the plate
picture #3 is the small round view port on the back of the stove so you can see the combustor lights off.
picture #4 is the Riteway 37 tag
the secondary air holes in the flue can be shut off ,Note the little handle below the bimetal spring in pic #3
I hope these pics clarify some things

good grieve, i would never have imagined that mess in my worst nightmare.
that constitutes the most horrid bastardization of an original model of anything i can remember.
no wonder they folded soon after the "cat" days.
tragic
but, seeing that plate and the pins it's clear that there should be no opening of any size at all there.

the epa ruined a lot of stove companies.
i read that a local stove manufacturer would have had to spend approx. 150k to try and certify 3 stove models.
It was a small family owned business and they went out of business because they could not afford the testing.
