Firebelly FB1 baffle plate replacement?

Waitrose

I have the Firebelly FB1 multi-fuel woodburner/stove

However when having it cleaned, I managed to break the brittle top baffle plate made of Vermiculite,

So i was just asking to see if I could use a metal/steel equivalent baffle plate as its just a simple rectangular piece instead of vermiculite?

Would this be safe and do the same job?

Not sure about metal/steel replacement as it may change the dynamic's of the stove. Why not get a replacement sheet of vermiculite off flea bay. They are very cheap and wouldn't alter the stoves operation in any way.

Thanks yes thats exactly what I was going to do as the baffle plate vermiculite is a simple rectangle that I can cut.

Just waiting to see one come up now

Have you called FB to see how much they charge for a replacement?
