Has Anyone Tested the Adjustable Baffle From BBQHQ?

[Its_Raw]

Hello, all!

Has anyone tried or tested the adjustable baffle from BBQHQ for the Brazos?

Baffle

If so, is it worth trying?

Thank you!

I have not, I've always used a piece of 1/4'' steel plate that I lean up against the opening between the firebox and chamber. It covers about 75% of the opening, I just lean it up against the wall and angle it out on the bottom. It's cheap and easy, much like me!!!

If you have an old griddle, even a pan you could try it out.

Good luck.

I guess I don't understand it. Website recommends you install that then get the $168 stack extension for more draw??? I think they want your $.

Yep, cut the air flow down on one end, and then increase the air flow at the other. Both ends working against the middle.

I think the idea is solid, if it slows down at the inlet you need speed it up at the exit.
If it spreads the heat out evenly, I'm a supporter.
Quick and dirty exhaust extensions are a real thing, not spending extra money is also a thing.

So you hook up your water hose to the faucet. Then you cut the inflow down 1/2 .

How you gonna speed up outflow at the other end ? There's only so much water in the hose.

My stock, standard, un-modified Brazos ....................... only adjustment is damper on firebox door.
