New guy here. planning to build a custom smoker

The million dollar question. Reverse flow or standard??

The major advantage with a RF is a more even and consistent temperature in the cooking chamber. The higher end smokers are usually reverse flow.
With the standard offset some people like the uneven cooking temps.
