Very good points. Any recommendations on one compatible with the Z1 or are they universal?

Some are easier to R&R but it's just a flat sheet of something (I've seen everything from posterboard to plywood to Aluminum to stainless steel used) to block the air flow across the cooler. Ie, whether or not you can mount/unmount it easily is the biggest concern. Being in NJ and using the plate a lot, you probably want something a bit more substantial than paper or wood - Aluminum works well and is lightweight. You should be able to find something designed to work with your setup - I'd try Z1 first - if not, just about any shop that does sheet metal work should be able to fab something up or, if you are a DIYer, all you need is a sheet of Al and a small saw.

I fabricated my own with an aluminum sheet, tin snips and some Velcro.
