Reverse Flow smoker project

[Day]

Started this on Friday. The demensions are 3x3x5. Planning on making it the RF design. What do you guys recommend? Pros and cons of the RF design smoker. Thanks

Hey Day..looking good. I'm not a big fan of the RF stuff. Attempts to circumvent too many laws of physics in my view. Hot air rises..fire goes on the bottom. A purist might consider a long narrow fire door on the back side through which coals and/or charcoal might be shoveled. Need a burn barrel for that. That would make a doozy of a direct cooker.

Lang Smokers And many others have had great success making reverse flow smokers.

I almost had my latest smoker configured as reverse flow, but decided to go with tuning plates instead. Reverse flow is easy to learn, I am still playing with the locations of the individual tuning plates. (If I'd fire it up more often, I might learn quicker.

I love to watch projects come together. Please post more of your build!
