I have the baffle in place and it does seem to save wood but this is the coldest its been and the boiler seems to be abit slower to recover.Seasoned wood is a must during a cold snap, say less than 5*

Heard about the baffle from this forum and i contacted my dealer about it. I have a cb4030 and my dealer told me the 4030 was originally designed to have a smaller diameter stack. But they made all the stacks for the 4030 5036 and 6040 the same to save on costs. So i installed it and i have noticed a 20 to 30% longer burn time on my unit.

I have seen this post before, they say it's for boiler's in higher elevation's mine is at 98ft above sea level. The only thing I have done to mine is add a cover over the outlet of the chimney about 8in above the opening to keep water when it's raining from getting in it when the damper is closed.

Seems to me since the 4030 has the resrictor down from 8" to 4" then the 5036 should have a 6" and the 6048 the standard 8".

any new feed back on the use of the baffle?

I have a baffle in my chimney. It does reduce wood use. So much so my dealer put one in his 6048
