found this in a Burnham PV83S I serviced this week. the condition of the fire box isn't the worst I've seen but the air tube shroud looks like someone beat it with a hammer. the target wall insulation was leaning way into the chamber. I'm assuming the damage to the shroud was cased by heat being reflected back onto the burner. Am I right?

I cleaned it and got the insulation back in place and got the crud out of the air tube.

I was surprised to get reasonable Combustion results, expecting to get impingement on the shroud or at least bad air flow.:

Tstack 456

o2 4.9

CO 15 PPM

Ex Air 28.5

CO2 12.03

Smoke 0

I convinced the owner to let me replace the air tube and and insulation.
