I've been using an interior baffle in my stove this fall/winter and really like it. It allows me to run the stove pipe over the door (pushing the stove box back into the unused space of my tent), gives me a better, more controlled burn with very few escaping sparks, and regulates the heat on top (which I find helps with cooking). I made it from a section of the stove pipe I cut off and bent with a Vise-Grip hand break and a rubber mallet over over the corner of a board. My two friends both run them on their stoves, too. It find the only drawback is that it takes a little longer to get the stove to draw well when first lighting it. Other than that, it has improved the performance of my leaky little stove a lot. So much so, that I rather like my leaky little stove a lot.
The baffle rolls up and stores inside the rolled stovepipe.
PS: Pardon the state of my stove...I had just dumped the ash/coals. It's a messy little thing.
