this is the only one built right on this thread thus far. bubba and lang grills have a plate under the rack that runs almost the length but stops short on the opposite end of the fire box. the exhaust is back near the fire box so it draws heat the length of the cooker. Only issue is making sure the plate is sealed all around except the far end. Fat hits that plate and smokes the meat right up. Good job on this build.

Biggest issue I have with reverse flow smokers is distance of the grate to the plate. Not because of fat hitting it and smoking, but the amount of radiant heat the plate gives off. Cooks your food much faster. Although one of the places that's in my top 3-4 ever is Evie Mae's and he uses nothing but reverse flow.
