 It pretty much just drops in, two bolts hold it together (if desired) and a couple bolts hold the 45 peice on.

Hi was asking yesterday about the BigCookÃ¢â€žÂ¢ Expansion Rack fitting my Highland reverse flow smoker. I went home yesterday and examined my smoker and determined it would not fit because the baffle plates go all he way to the end so there would be no room to add the holder for the shelf. The question is if I purchase this upgraded baffle plate will the expansion rack fit with the water pan addition as well?

 Unfortunately, we do not have this cooker here any longer, so we cannot say for sure. We are still planning on confirming fitment as soon as we can. On the regular highland, you have to notch out a tiny peice of one of the Big Cook barcket when using it with the baffle. its rather simple.... not sure on the Reverse Flow. Could be a similar thing. Thank you!

I see there are holes to attach the 45Ã‚Â° piece to the plate on the firebox side, but my kit didn't come with bolts. Should I connect the two pieces, or can I just place them in the cook chamber as is? Also, if I bolt the two together, will it get in the way of the water pan?

 Yes you can use almost any bolt to attached the triangles. Sorry we forgot to put them in we can send you some. they are 1/4-20 x 1/2" long. You can bolt the two plates together, but its not needed. nothing will get in the way of the water pan at all. Please let us know if you need bolts thanks!

Looks like a great upgrade, can"t wait to get it in! Do you recommend drilling weep holes for drippings? Also - does the waterpan attach directly this custom baffle or to the smoke unit itself. Thanks in advance!

 Thank you for ordering the baffle system! It is a great upgrade. 
 The water pan just sits on the plate and fits the curvature of the baffle, snugs right up. 
 You dont have to drill weep holes, but its 11 or 12 gauge, so its about an 1/8" thick, so you an drill if you like. just dont drill too many holes or it will lose its reverse flow effect.

Is this the same metal used in the other bacfle kits?...gage of steel.....also how does it fit? Looks like you have modified how it installs compared to your other baffle, tuning kits....

1. Justin Martin answers Nov 13, 2018
 
 YES, this is the same gauge of metal as used in our other baffles, nice and heavy, weights over 20 lbs.
 It fits awesome. Same as the other one Highland Baffle systems. We have changed the way it looks a little, but it won't affect fitment. Its basically just a product design improvement. Infact its easier to install.
