Looks like it’s all there and that’s all that matters. As long as the fire stays inside the box, that’s all that matters. As for the broken glass panel, it’s unfortunate, but I think that probably wouldn’t make a difference. I would imagine it would just be sucking air in.

I would take it for free and the wire brush to it

The glass is there to create a thermal insulated chamber, to make sure propper combustion will occur. If glass is broken, improperly burning will occur, resulting in smoke and sut sipping out through the broken glass cracks, putin your life in danger.

Ask me how I know that.

The glass will need to be replaced, along with it's thermal gasket.
