Here is a picture of the one i built and have modified several times.i did not know anyone who had smoker at all so this all guess and by golley.
i have a alum. pan that sits on heating element put a few brickets and handfull of wood chips to start.i have a water pan 10 inchs above this then two meat racks one for meat and one i use for beans and tators.
this will run about 200-220 degrees all night add more coals to get to 250
put chips on depending on taste also here is a picture of some good ole bolongia and stuffed jalopenoes
