I have an earth stove in my house that we use regularly to heat the house in the winter. My question is this: last night, while the fire was burning, the bowed metal piece that is under the chimney opening fell off into the fire. What is this called and what exactly is its purpose? Should I be concerned about using the stove without it?

My friend has an earth stove that was missing the baffle when he bought it, he made one out of heavy plate steel. I believe the baffle is not supposed to be bowed. His stove was very easy to overfire maybe that happened in the past.
