Woodheaters in Austwood's Hi-Tech range have a rectangular baffleplate with an upward fold at the front and an airbar with holes in it at the back. The baffleplate rests in supports each side at the back and steel pins at the sides towards the front. The rear supports may have been bent flat at some time to make it easier to remove or replace the baffleplate. We make baffleplates for the compact, medium and large models in this range.
We also improve on the original Austwood designs by supplying a baffleplate extention; we believe this improves the heater efficiency getting more warmth from the firewood you burnt. With the extention installed the heater looks more like a top of the range heater inside. We can supply either our basic Austwood baffleplate or our improved version. Our extention is made of the same alloy as the baffleplate, so when they get hot they expand the same amount. Dont make your own from a different material.
The Wentworth series have a very basic cast iron baffleplate. We make baffleplates for the compact and medium models in this range. Our plates are reinforced for a longer life.
The Omega Series woodheaters had an airbar assembly across the back of the firebox and partway up the sides. The baffleplate rested on top of the airbar assembly and was not attached to it. There were 2 sections to the baffleplate.
We stock the Omega medium model baffleplate. We redesigned the join between the 2 baffleplate sections to improve on the original Austwood design.
We also make a replacement airbar assembly for this model. To install the airbar assembly you need to be able to use an angle grinder and a welder. (We may be able to install it for you.) We use heavier gauge metal than Austwood, so our kit should last well.
