I run an ok joe longhorn with a baffle and 3 tuning plates. Temp on the firebox side runs about 30-40 degrees above the stack side. Today ive been moving the maverick around in the cook chamber and noticed a hot spot just past the plates (with the baffle they go about half way across the chamber). I mean like really hot, maybe 40 hotter than the firebox end. The previous owner had more plates but removed them because he said he was getting poor airflow.
