I have a picture in an old thread on installing a rear, interior burn plate. This is a heat-shield, not a baffle. What I did was bolt a thick steel plate to the back wall with nuts as spacers to create a small gap from the rear of the stove.

custom rear heat shield for classic Jotul 602
hello, newbie here. I've heated my hi-ceiling non-insulated one-room addition (mild climate) for 17 years with my classic 602, and I love that old box. I've browsed a zillion threads here and learned a LOT about how to treat my old reliable Jotul with respect. Unfortunately, I read them now...

That looks great, thanks for sharing. I do have a few questions. Did you just use 1/4" plate steel and did you hold it up off the bottom and hold it short of the top baffle to allow air flow around it?
No it was more like #10 steel. It is bolted with 10-24 screws with a nut behind the plate to act as a spacer. It's a pretty close fit, but not snug-tight. This made a major difference in overheating the rear of the stove.
