Purchased this baffle plate for my highland after many YouTubers stating it was the one mod that is a must
After I installed I decided I’d season it and test the temp difference from side to side
These thermometers have been checked in boiling water and are both reading the same at ambient temps. I will say I am disappointed that I am not getting the 5-10 degree difference most people are getting on the YouTube. However I am getting between 30-40 degree difference between the firebox and exhaust end which will allow me to use some of the grate closer to my firebox. Without this plate I was seeing close to 70+ degree difference from end to end.
Another thing I did notice was the dome temp almost matched the grate temp which was always around 40 degrees cooler than the dome
I want to put out there that I am not being paid by lava lock or bbqsmokermods.com for this review. I will say I’m disappointed that my temps aren’t them same or close across the grate as advertised. I will reach out to some of the youtubers that can achieve that to see what they are doing to get those temp differences. I am not too concerned if I can’t achieve that because I don’t think it’s going to make a huge difference in my cooks. I am pleased that I can keep the firebox side of the cook chamber below 300 and not be super cold on the exhaust side. Would I buy again yes I think I would! Hope this helps anyone wanting better temp control in their Highland
