OK I got this used Charbroil smoker and looking at it and reading some reviews it truly seems like it will be hot on one side and cooler on the other. So my thought is to make it into a reverse flow smoker by moving the chimney to the firebox side and welding a patch over the old hole. Then weld in some sheet metal inside the cook area to take the smoke and heat over to the right hand side.

Anyone ever do this and did it help on such a small smoker?

Thanks guys,

Gordon


 
Do some research in baffles.  It would help with equaling out the heat from end to end.  Mine is just a solid metal charcoal tray that I flipped over.  It's sits under the cooking grates and goes from one end to the other with about an 1" - 1.5" gap.  Make sure it is above the hole where the smoke enters the cooking chamber.  I have about 5* difference from end to end by doing this.
