Hi. I just picked up a Fisher Grandmabear stove and need info on the size of the baffle that sits in the angled brackets in the fire box? I need to come up with one and since so many here have fisher stoves I figured better to ask than reinvent the wheel...

Also, how is the door lock supposed to work? I read a linked .pdf manual from another post and it says 'turn, open an inch then turn some more and it opens'. The one I have (even fully closed) doesnt pull the door tight against the gasket. is there supposed to be a wedge/bracket on the inside for it to pull on? Is my handle just bent? I took a 4x8" wide piece of scrap metal and wound it around the locking bar as a temp measure but would like to do it right (almost out of cold to test the stove out and I want to be able to just light her up in the fall...)
 
My stove did not have a baffle so I built this for it.
