My friend found a steel plate approximately 8 inches by 4 inches laying in the stove. I looked inside of the stove and saw a square opening at the top inside of the stove near the chimney. Does this plate just sit up there and is removed for cleaning? Thanks.
 
Upon further inspection the steel plate is part of the damper mechanism and the weld broke. Don't think it's fixable cause no way to get access back there to weld it.
