    Hey @brandonwamboldt ,

    Using a plane as an emitter, you will only have particles emitted from one side.

    The plane emitter has only one face, which makes it simpler.

    Every face of every object has a positive (blue) side and a negative (red) side, aka external and internal on an object such as a cube.

    The normal velocity in the particle settings will be a positive number to emit from the positive side (blue) and a negative number from the negative side (red).

    For the rocket launch you want this normal velocity set as -1.

    Make sure your particle system is on your Smoke Emitter object only, I see similar issues with the smoke, often the particle system is also on the Smoke Particle object.

    Hope this helps!
