Hey guys... just picked up a OKJ highland about a week ago for a sweet deal and can't wait to use it. I finally put it together yesterday and used high temp silicone on all the spaces and high temp gasket on the doors. Also bought the 3"inch elbow I will put inside towards the grill.... My huge question is I need to make a Baffle and eventually plates... I do not want to buy the whole kit as I would rather put this toward a new toy... What dimentions are the Baffle and plates as well as what is the best solution to making one that will serve its purpose??? I don't want a tinfoil makeshift one but rather a reliable inexpensive way to achieve this.
Thanks!!!

I know the tin foil baffle is not the way to go. A good heavy baking sheet should suffice. Be sure to angle it down about 30* to force the heat and smoke to be below the grate and not straight across. As far as the plates are concerned, I don't know about them. I like the convection plate much better.

Good luck in your mods. :grilling_smilie:
