Reverse flow combination cooking apparatus

A cooking apparatus comprising:

• a cooking chamber;
• a grate disposed within the cooking chamber;
• a first heat source disposed on a first side of the cooking chamber, offset from the grate;
• a second heat source disposed on a second side of the cooking chamber, offset from the grate;
• a drip tray extending between the first and second sides so as to define a smoke tunnel from the second heat source to the first side;
• a chamber flap operatively associated with a first portion of the drip tray, wherein said first portion is disposed on the first side;
• the chamber flap moveable between a closed condition and an open condition enabling a second heat and associated smoke to flow directly from the second heat source to the first side, wherein the first and second sides are spaced apart by at least two feet;
• and
• a smokestack directly communicating the second side with an external environment, whereby said associated smoke must flow from the second heat source to the first side and then to the second side before flowing through the smokestack.
