Had some fun looking for info.  No luck.  Is there a manufacturers plate on the smoker?  City of manufacture?  Maybe manufactured by XXXXXXXX for BBQ King?  

 

[mike ploeger]

Mike,

Here are two links.  In the second link, you will notice that BBQ King was acquired in 1977.  Hope some of this helps.
