Just can't leave well enough alone can you :lol:
My concern is that it would limit exhaust flow since it wasn't designed for one and the metal plates that deflect exhaust from going directly into the flue might not provide enough room.
You hoping to gain something or just asking?

I remembered reading that even BB did something like put extra board or blanket ? on top of his baffle due to heat shrinkage of the baffle board.
Others chimed in and said they used blanket or such to deal with a gap issue in some stoves too.
Just could not find that thread.....
I'll wait to hear if BB says any more about it .
(you are right...it's a compulsion that must be controlled)
No blanket or added insulation here. Just a rod through a piece of 1/4" stove rope placed in the gap left on the side when the baffle boards are pushed to the right side. The boards didn't shrink, they just aren't as wide as the top of the firebox.
