I think my upper baffle (closest to stove pipe) is in the wrong position creating draft and smoke issues.
it is all the way to front of stove but at an angle down to lower baffle (closing any openings).
Is this correct or should it be held up perpendicular creating opening? in other words, should both baffle boards be level, creating gap, or should upper board be angled down , closing gap?
