Call your EFM man.

My 0.02 - You can certainly make a baffle out of steel to get you through the season, but it will warp a lot faster than a factory baffle.

I made one out of 3/8 plate for a 520 last year, still looks good

Maybe I can find some 3/4" That wont warp although be kinda heavy to install. And yes a fat guy can get in the ash door. Been there done that.

I bet a good welder could make one.

How many tons have you burned in that 700 since you got it?

120 or close to that.

Phil if you want a piece of cast iron for that baffle, old pianos had a large sheet of cast iron that the strings are pulled over. It's wide enough to cut a baffle from.
