Rattle in vent pipe above fridge burner.

This is a 2016 Winnebago Vista/Sunstar. I have been unable to gain access to a short length of chimney pipe just above the refrigerator burner. I don't know what the components inside are (heat exchanger of some sort) should look like but I'm guessing whatever tethers it/them is not doing it's job. Any info out there as to what this may be and how to get inside that area?

Thanks Marc

Probably a baffle inside the vene has rusted loose, you might think about one of these to try and see what it is...: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Waterproo...ptop/873783136

Baffle or whatever it is, I need to get inside the @5" seemingly removable section of sheet metal wrap that forms the bottom of the chimney pipe above the burner. I've disassembled some associated components but have not identified how to get this piece off to see and fix the loose item inside. Looking for the procedure to get inside.

Cool and inexpensive device I would have other uses for.

Thank you.

Marc

The flue baffle just hangs there. It's accessed from the top.
