ways to drop down and remove from firebox. To re-install the baffle, perform the removal steps in the reverse
order. Ensure that the two side pieces of insulation are set tight against the baffle. If the insulation is damaged
during removal, it should be replaced.
The baffle should only be removed after the chimney is being cleaned.

Not place anything inside the access opening or
