EDIT: I PM'd Dana, BBQ Engineer, a while back with the idea of doing the same thing. He couldn't really see a problem with my concept. I haven't attacked it as yet because because I found that one of the tanks I had was galvanized & was painted over. I haven't really searched for another tank yet. Here is the crude graphic I came up with...
The red is the fire chamber & the smoke chamber with the dark section being a vent from the fire chamber to the top portion of the smoke chamber & the blue being the smoke stack out.
Dang...a vertical reverse flow cylindar....I am sure bbq engineer,bbally and the others will be along with some thoughts....I have only seen them horizontal from cylinders...
I do use couple backwoods in comps with black cat and thats basicaly what they are,but using a cabinet(rectangular) shell...
A reverse flow lazy susan.....hmmmmmm. I like the concept.
Doing some mental gymnastics on this now. I think if you do it right, it might be better than a basic rectangular cabinet design.

Personally, if it were me, and this is just my opinion, I would try to keep and sharp turns to a minimum to ensure smooth airflow. Just like a houses duct work, everytime one comes to a hard turn, like a 90 degree, the flow is restricted. Something to consider.
