A 1985 Series 3 popped up locally, all the burn plates look good. There isn’t a top baffle with it. Woodmans website is down, and other sources show a baffle for the TD. Would that work in the older stove as well?
 
Some of those older F3’s didn’t have a baffle but had a plate over the rear exhaust that forced the smoke and gas up and over before exiting.

That tracks with what I’ve been finding. The rear plate looks like it would fit with a baffle, which is why I’m wondering if one from a TD would fit before I commit.
