The purpose of a wood stove baffle is to redirect the flow of hot gases and smoke, allowing for more complete combustion of the wood. This helps to increase the efficiency of the wood stove by ensuring that more heat is transferred to the room and less is lost up the chimney.
A baffle plate in a multi-fuel stove serves to direct and control the flow of flue gases within the combustion chamber. It helps improve the efficiency of the stove by promoting better combustion and heat distribution, as well as minimizing heat loss up the flue. By maintaining optimal combustion temperatures, the baffle plate can also reduce emissions and enhance overall performance. Additionally, it protects the stove's internal components from excessive heat exposure.
The "Franklin stove" (not "Benjamin Franklin stove") was named after its inventor, Benjamin Franklin, who would never have thought of putting a statue of himself on it. The Franklin stove is actually a metal fireplace liner that allowed a fire in the fireplace to heat a room more efficiently. It contained a hollow "baffle", a wide, thin iron box near (but not at) the rear. The baffle was open at the bottom and contained two holes on the sides. Heat from the fire rose on both the back and front of the baffle, so that air entering at the bottom of the box was more quickly heated. Heated air rises, but instead of escaping out the top of the chimney to no purpose, in the Franklin stove, the heated air exited into the room through the holes in the baffle's sides.
I believe the plate sits inside the stove at a 45 degree angle tilted towards the rear.
The Franklin stove was a type of fireplace, lined with metal and contained a hollow baffle. It is named for the man who invented it, Benjamin Franklin. It is also known as a Pennsylvania fireplace or a circulating stove.

One way to improve the efficiency of an electric stove is to use cookware that matches the size of the heating element. This helps to ensure that heat is evenly distributed and not wasted. Additionally, keeping the stove clean and well-maintained can also improve its efficiency by allowing heat to transfer more effectively.
Propane stove emissions contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, which can harm human health and contribute to climate change.

It is not recommended to convert a potbelly stove into a propane stove, as this could be dangerous and may void any warranties. It is best to purchase a propane stove that is designed for that purpose.
The best materials for stove insulation to ensure safety and efficiency are ceramic fiber, vermiculite, and refractory cement. These materials can withstand high temperatures and help retain heat, making the stove more efficient and reducing the risk of fire hazards.
The thermal mass of a wood stove affects its efficiency and heating capabilities by storing and releasing heat slowly. A wood stove with higher thermal mass can retain heat for longer periods, providing more consistent warmth and requiring less frequent refueling. This can result in better efficiency and more effective heating in a space.
