A baffle plate is placed at the top of the fire chamber, it is a deflector shield which reflects heat back into the combustion chamber. This is a very important part to keep maintained as it ensures heat is retained in the stove. The heat is then emitted to the room in a controlled manner, maximizing the efficiency of your Henley stove!
Please ensure your baffle plate is fitted correctly to prevent irreparable damage to your stove and chimney.
