I found this post while looking for more information on baffles. The pictures and your work are great. I wonder if you have more pictures of the baffle placement in the stove.

I'm working on my old Aurora and made a temporary metal baffle and copper pipe secondary air supply tube last winter. The baffle did well, the copper piping was toasted. Now I'm trying to improve the baffle and air supply with stainless steel parts. Placement of a baffle is still my problem.
