Baffled by baffleplate

[Remluf]

My vermiculite baffleplate broke and I called a local shop to see if they had one my size. They said it had to be one made by the woodburner manufacturer. I don't know what it is as it's second hand, but online there are many for sale including one my size, so is it ok to buy it or will I have to find out what manufacturer my woodburner is somehow?

I buy a sheet of vermiculite board and cut my own for my morso,s side plate, the top baffle plate made of cast iron I buy manufacturers as I am not yet up to making cast iron.

If it is Vermiculite board, you can just cut a piece the same size, or for a one off purchase might be cheaper to buy one ready cut than a whole sheet to cut yourself.

 

If you don't quit get the right size, maybe a bit big, you can cut it to size easily.

 

Wood burning stoves are quite simple internally, nothing special about the parts so long as they all fit it will work. For example, you can get glass, bricks, grates, and so on all from others apart from the manufacturer. For mine, after market baffle plate (steel), second grid (manufacturer), glass (after market), bricks (I made, 1st set replacements I bought from manufacturer), and it still warms the house
