reverse flow versus rositterie smoker

Hey guys my name is Jon I am new to the forum much like many of you I am sure I came here seeking tips and advice when it comes to bbq; cooking and prepping it as well as just talk in general about the topic.

I have done a little research on smokers and have a good idea of what I want to do, I am on a budget so I am opting to build a smoker from a heat oil tank. Yes I understand they aren't the best choice but it will work for what I am planning to do with it, and where I live good ones are fairly inexpensive.

My question is though how does a rotisserie stack against a reverse flow smoker, or if you build a reverse flow smoker is it really necessary to have a rotisserie unit. I did find plans for a heat oil tank smoker that was reverse flow and had rotisserie but it seems like to me rotisserie would work best at improving the performance of an offset smoker that doesn't flow as evenly as a reverse flow. Plus the plan is also $80 I'm certain there are sites that offer free or much less expensive smokers plans that I don't know about, or if someone can give me some ideas that I can use to come up with my own plan. Let's see what kind of ideas are out there.

that's kinda what I was thinking I think honestly I can still get some good results from a reverse flow still a far cry better than a normal offset.
