My charcoal box is 12x12x6 tall. The baffle plate is 30x 16 1/2 with 1.5" pieces welded to the ends. It bolts in through the firebox screws.
Mine is not a true convection plate. If you don't go reverse flow then my design will not work. Your plate needs to be much shorter. It either needs a series of holes in it or you need a small baffle plate and some tuning plates. With a large baffle plate like mine the heat and smoke would go under the plate and right out of the exhaust.
Just asking... Why not reverse flow?
