Does the material of the baffle in a Craftsbury stove matter? If I wanted to buy a piece of soapstone and cut it to the exact same dimensions as the baffle in my stove, would it be safe to replace it?
I like the idea of adding some extra thermal mass. And it seems that all the baffle does is redirect the flow of heat past the tubes. Soapstone could do this.
But would the added thermal mass be detrimental?
Just curious.
Thanks!
