Hi Everyone, just picked up this stove with the hope of rebuilding it. The top has damage, see pictures. Is this a air wash system? The top of the stove its self is also slightly warped but not bad. Is it junk?

Adding a few more pictures. It appears the plate may have been a factory added brace for these units? Picture one is the whole plate. Picture 2 is looking in from the chimney connection.

It looks pretty abused to me. Without seeing it in person it's hard to say but it doesn't look good
