Hello all!
I’m A chef but relatively new to smoking. I had an opportunity to to build a reverse flow smoker with an old 500l tank. It’s 2 door, each door has 2 levels/grills. I have 1 thermometer over each grill. Fire box is on the right. I have no problem with airfloor and maintaining temperature. I do have a massive difference in temperature between the top two levels and the bottom two levels. About 20C to 25C... is this normal? Also the grill on the bottom left is the coldest. About 5C colder than the bottom right. I was surprised because that’s where the smoke first hits the meat so should be at its hottest?
