What is a baffle plate for in multi fuel stove?

A baffle plate in a multi-fuel stove serves to direct and control the flow of flue gases within the combustion chamber. It helps improve the efficiency of the stove by promoting better combustion and heat distribution, as well as minimizing heat loss up the flue. By maintaining optimal combustion temperatures, the baffle plate can also reduce emissions and enhance overall performance. Additionally, it protects the stove's internal components from excessive heat exposure.
