Part Description: This is a top baffle for many Regency (and Hampton) wood burning stoves and wood burning inserts. There are (2) baffles in the set and each baffle measures approximately 9.5″ x ~15″ x 1″. In a wood-burning stove, the baffle’s primary function is to trap heated air and exhaust gases inside the firebox, maximizing heat extraction and reducing emissions. This is achieved by forcing smoke and gases to take a longer path within the stove before exiting through the chimney, allowing more heat to be transferred to the stove’s surface.
