Mr. Anderson
February 10, 2025

To fix excessive fuel back burning in a Quadra-Fire MT Vernon, check the following:

1. Airflow Adjustment – The only way to increase air is by switching to the high elevation setting, but this will reset any upgraded burn tables to default.
2. Feed Rate (Flame Height) – Adjust the feed rate to control flame height.
3. Ash Pan Seal – Ensure the ash pan is tightly seated to prevent air leaks.
4. Baffle Placement – Make sure the baffle is centered evenly and properly secured to avoid airflow issues.

These steps help regulate combustion and reduce back burning.
