    If you compare this way of doing it to a Jambo it is almost the same.

    No the way I'm doing it is to use the heat that rises as it enters the fire pit and is deflected towards the top of the pit as it travels to the other side the exhaust pipe that is cut out just below the rack. pulls the heat and smoke downward.

    I'll be using this smoker in a couple of weeks at a competition. Look forward to getting some judges opinions on how the food taste off of it. So far family and friends all say it's great. If you ever try to build one like this. I promise you won't be disappointed.

    The type smokers I build to test this on are built to where if I close the dampers it will extinguish the fire. This also allows me to control the amount of wood I burn.

    To answer your question. The moisture doesn't build up any more than any other type smoker. And the deflector that is installed keeps any direct heat off the grate. I will post a picture next time I fire it up with biscuits all over so everyone can see how even temp it is. Also ash has never...

    Yea I'm not meaning to judge people for it the post I put up isn't the way I meant to say it. But if anyone is doing a reverse type to obtain even temperature across the pit. I'm just trying to let it be known it can be done the conventional way by getting the airflow correct.

    Yes I agree. I just wanted to share what I have found out. I hope this helps others that are trying to decide if they want to go conventional or reverse. I understand there is other opinions. I look forward to hearing them.

    Yes just below the cooking grate and bring the heat in just above the cooking grate. With a heat deflector installed to keep the heat off the grate at the intake side.

    Hope To not offend anyone, but I've built all types of smokers and the placement of the intakes and outakes are all you need to know how to do. To keep even temperature across your pit and to also be able to adjust for different temps across your pit. Here is a picture of a backyard pit I have...

    cut, chop, and rebuild.

    I use this to get my figures http://www.feldoncentral.com/bbqcalculator.html. But as far as round or square you can usually find 1/4 round pipe for a fire pit cheaper than buying 1/4 inch steel plate and the labor building the box. For true efficiency like you had mention my opinion leans...
