Thanks for the feedback.
I contacted Behmor directly and they were most helpful. He confirmed, as you have, that the end fin shouldn't be bent back. As soon as he gets more spare drums in he will be sending me one.
Thanks

Center fins are "V" shaped. All other fins should be flat planes, with no bends. Give SM's a call/email.

I received my Behmor yesterday and the 2 middle fins are "V" shaped. Picture in operating manual shows the middle fins to be "V" shaped. Looking at the drum, that is the way they are made. The bends on both fins are machine made. Hmmm.

Correct. 2 middle fins are bent to V, remaining fins are straight, but attached offset. They function to keep bean mass evenly distributed and awash in radiant heat. Geoff's pic shows a bent end on one of the straight fins, and it's almost inaccessible, but possibly salvageable.
