Secondary air tube

Hello I have a drolet tundra 2 on my second season burning it and one of the 4 stainless burn tubes has developed a noticeable sag in it the rest are fine anyone else encounter this before ?

Any ideas ?

Maybe get a new one and keep the saggy one for a spare? First I've heard of this in a Tundra 2. Hope its a fluke deal.

Yes I plan on getting a replacement just odd that one warped and the rest are fine I know over firing can cause this but I would assume they would all do it not just one and the tundra 2 will close down the air if the temp goes over a pre set temp or power outage to keep from over firing they do have a warranty on air tubes and mine is in the warranty period just curious of the cause

Should check the other site with the huge thread. I read a lot of it and don't recall any others having the issue? Curious. Has the performance been what you wanted?

I had a hot blast 1557 m in the house when I bought it burned threw alot of wood but also had a decent heat output and the chimney was always really clean but the firebox was warped pretty badly when I bought the house and after 3 years of use and yearly fixes like taking a furnace fan and making it fit the hot blast snap disks etc it was time for a change. This tundra 2 uses less wood but doesnt hold as much or as big of wood that the hot blast did it's much easier to use and I have it hooked up to a thermostat just wish I would of sprung for the model up to get the bigger fire box

Pretty dirty but I've been burning since October it's the only heat source glass is a little dirty today got up in the 50s but glass is usually crystal clear never have to clean it

Wow. Not just a little warped either! What is your typical reload/burn time schedule?

Depends usually she loads it twice in the morning when she gets home from work then when she gets up from her nap she works third shift then a few times after I get home till I go to bed but on a day like today it gets loaded twice
