Looks like your baffle board is junk.
Don't run the stove without it, all your heat is going straight up the chimney

After a third look, I think that is one of your firebricks... Drolet uses some lightweight bricks in some models
How thick is this material? If 1" or less than it's probably baffle material. Look at the board above the secondary tubes and see if there are holes and gaps. If the flue was cleaned top down, look at the baffle toward the rear of the firebox. The rods may have impacted the baffle board and shattered it.
