I'd seriously recommned the mods in the link previously posted. I know the ones tailored toward the Bandera were tons of help. Also, I would recommend possbily finding a tube or 2 of high heat silicon and use it to create a gasket of sorts along the length of the smoke chamber door area. Use a cleaning wheel and remove about 1/2 -1 inch of paint from around the entire area of the door edge and clean up the metal good to allow a proper seat, then run a bead of that HiTemp silicone over the cleaned metal. You can either allow it to sit up that way or,....
Apply a thin layer of vasoline to the opposite area of the smoke chamber and then close the lid down to allow the silicone to form to the chamber area. It's a pain to remove the vasoline after the silicone has setup but after a few hours of curing time(do not move the lid after you close it) the Vasoline will prevent the silicone from sticking to the opposite sid eand you will have a nicely formed seal whenever you close the lid.
That may help a little bit, along with the baffle and the draft tube extension.
There's others here that have ALOT MORE experience doing this stuff than I do. Hopefully they'll shime in later.
