What I am trying to do is use the firebox for the horizontal smoker by itself and also for the whole smoker which is set up in reverse flow by the use of the dampers. I am new at this so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
That may work, but you are going to get a ton of convection from the reverse flow plate directly above the fire.Get some more input before you start, I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction.
In my search for my own work today, I ran across someone who was building something very similar, didnt read into it to see how well it worked but if I can come across it again I will post a link! But IMO I think those sketches are on point! you may want to have some kind of seal on the dampers, or maybe that's over engineering!!! But an awesome build idea none the less!!!! good luck with it!!
