Peerless oil boiler

I'm installing a peerless wbv e oil boiler, with

Rear flue. It has baffles in the boiler. It seems that they block 1/2 of the 6" flue. Should I take them out? Or leave them? Thanks .

    Removing the baffles will lower the efficiency but raise the stack temperature. It should only be done if the chimney requires a higher stack temperature to achieve proper venting.

    You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.

    It’s probably too late, but why the peerless?
