I am brand new to all this(never smoked anything!) but recently acquired a homemade grill and want to convert it to a smoker. It is basically a horizontal drum with a smoke stack in the top center. I know I need to add a firebox. How big should it be in relation to the drum(half, two-thirds?) I also know I will need to add some dampers. How many and where should they be? Should I move the smoke stack, get rid of it, or leave it alone? Should the firebox be placed on one of the ends or in the front or back or does it matter? If I am missing anything else I need you can let me know about that also!
Please excuse my ignorance, I know I am asking a lot, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
Brian
