Mine did not seal as much as I wanted, so maybe the air leak was part of the design to add a little secondary air up higher than the dampers? The baffle was called an "ash fender," so my guess is it is designed to help prevent ashes from getting sucked into and blocking the horizontal area before the elbow. I've wondered about the possibility of making a small Walker-esque stove from it. Maybe some day...
