Well I figured all these needed to be easier to look at and edit on my side so I broke it all up into the three categories.  Like before, please let me know if I am missing somebody's smoker in here.
 
UPDATED. 

I think I got this updated.  I know there are more new ones out there but I can't find them all.  If you find one that is a completed build and isn't on here, post the link of the original thread and I will update the lists.

I got to know, why do so many of the side box smokers have the smoke stack right over the firebox. I thought you wanted the heat and smoke to go from one side to the other.

Thanks,

Those would be reverse flow smokers.  There is a solid plate the redirects the smoke under and across the chamber to an opening.  The smoke is then drawn back across the smoker to the other side.  This process heats the internal plate for a more even heat and also helps with heat retention and recovery.  That's a quick and basic definition.  It gets a bit more detailed.
