Deflector plate question

I've used a deflector plate a few times and it seems as if the smoke with the plate is thicker. Also it seems the smoke takes longer to clean up. Is this something anyone has found if using a plate or is it just timing from the start of the fire and being impatient? This is in a drum smoker not a WSM.
 
I don't know if you'll find too many guys with experience on UDS's on this site. There are a few I'm sure. I think it's just in your head, though.
 
You are obstructing the flow of the smoke. This will cause the smoke to "thicken" as it will not be leaving as fast.
