Does anyone have any ideas on this please? I thought it might work as a heat deflector sort of thingy? It sits in its own groove between the firebox and main chamber and is removable. It is lightweight and sort of honeycombe in construction, i would presume so that smoke and heat can get through. On my first seasoning smoke i left it in and went by the Cactus Jack temp gauge for temperatures and it sat at 230 perfectly. But when I put a maverick probe in that proved the cj gauge was way out and i couldn't get the pit above 220. So do you think this baffle thingy has some effect on that and if so should it be removed or it can be rotated slightly in it's groove to open up by differing amount the same way as an intake would?
Thanks in advance for any help.
