I bout a Teddy Bear Fisher. Inside has a lot of rust but still in decent shape. I noticed the baffle is not only warped/bent on one side but it’s come disconnected from the stove wall. By these pics you can see in pic 1 the right side is still straight, attached to angle iron and sticking to the wall. In pic 3 you can see the warp. And in pic 2 you see the left side completely disconnected from the stove. Not sure what caused it. But I’d like to fix it. If it even needs fixing. The whole baffle is still solid and despite the warm is in a position that will still work. If I wanted to straighten it I don’t know how. I’d have to hammer it out thus breaking it from the wall and I don’t have the ability to weld another back in. Will a waroed baffle work less better than a straight? And what if I set a straight piece of steel over this one? Let me know your thoughts.
