I guess I can check to see if a new baffle is available. Maybe the tolerance is too great on the sides of the old baffle and the heat does not linger long enough. I know when it is running, I can reach my fingers up to the top of the flue tube and there is a lot of heat coming out. It will burn you in a hurry.
Only thing that really seems plausible to me. Maybe if you can measure the diameter of yours vs. the diameter of the flue and then compare to the diameter of a new one. Also, check the position in the flue.
