The device I purchased has no damper or baffle plates. Instead it has an artful 6-5/8" steel pipe (horizontal chimney) for the smoke and heat coming out of the firebox. Without any kind of modification the device produces very hot fast moving smoke and uneven heat.
I have used firebricks to deflect the heat
I have used a bent pie pan to deflect and dissipate the heat and smoke
Those two modifications have resulted in uneven heating...but produced a decent product--not great.
Next I will try a round-bottom, stainless steel vacuum chimney cap.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to tame the fast-moving 500F, UN-baffled un-dampered smoke and heat?
