OK, finally got it done. I had an old small kettle grill I parted out which made things easier and I think look pretty good :)
I took the legs off and spread em apart so they'd be wider and lower
I bolted the firebowl thing to the legs.
Then I put the old little kettle bottom from the old BBQ inside the firebowl. I put rabbit wire over the vent hole in the bottom and used it's charcoal rack.
Since it's sitting within the old fire bowl I should get just the right amount of air flow plus it will catch any hot things that fall.
Then I drilled and honed out the hole for the new thermometer and installed it.
And stole the vent doo-hickey off the old little BBQ, installed it and drilled holes so I can adjust the upper vents output.
And I'm done!
Really appreciate this forum, wouldn't have known how to make this thing work right without you guys and all the help when I asked questions
Now this weekend I can give'er a try!
ps, and now a super ugly homemade chimney
