I have just purchased a Grandpa Bear and need some info on this wood burner. It has a rear outlet for the flu. I can not see any where that it has had a baffle. I saw in some other form, someone had installed a baffle system, but it did not have any measurements on it. Do you need to have a baffle with this stove? I talked with a local wood burner and he said that they all came with them. Not sure if this is true. Its in very good shape and I would notice if someone had remove the welds where the system would have been. Any help would be great. Thanks, Joe
 
It seems that some came with baffles, some didn't, but really all it was is a piece of metal welded and bent, not really much of a baffle. I have attached a pic of a simular baffle that was in a Timberline insert that I restored.

That same thread you are talking about, I think Penn started it, get the dimensions out of yours and make something simular.
