I'm gonna put in a baffle/deflector from my firebox into my cooking chamber like many others have done. I've gone back thru and looked at several posts but am having a hard time coming up with any discussion on the gauge of steel/thickness used. Suggestions?
 
These are pics of it when it was brand new. I've since taken off the top rack so that I could lower the exhaust down to the main cooking grate.
