Building a smoker questions

[cjallen85]

I am currently building a smoker out of two 55 drum side by side, with an offset firebox. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions to make sure i can get a constant temp throughout the whole cooking chamber.
Thanks for any help you may have!

I believe a reverse flow design is what you should be looking at.

vertical or horizontal? I have no ideas for you but I do like to see something new- especially the "making it work" part.
