Thank you. I have learned a lot here over the years. I really enjoy all the folks willing to help us beginners.I don't know about your smoker but I will say welcome to SMF from Minnesota.
Thanks Al. Your advise brings up one of my specific questions. The fire box is narrower than it needs to be and when I bought the grill, it had two hinges attached to two separate pieces of flat steel. All was rusted up too much to be functional, so I cut it off. However, I can certainly fabricate hinges and get it working if I understood it better. It looks like it was meant to cover the firebox?Welcome to SMF!
It looks like a good charcoal grill to me.
Just put the coals on the sides & the meat in the middle for indirect cooking.
Add some wood chunks to the coals for smoke.

The other question I have on my new grill is about the parts underneath.I recently purchased a used Kingfisher Kountry Kooker. I have cleaned it up and done a few cooks. It seems to work well, but I am wondering if anyone else has one? I’m curious about some of its features and what they are intended for...

I can answer a part of that, the firebox does slide out the side, even has another air vent on the opposite end. It seems like this thing was well made with nice features. I just wish I understood them better.Man that whole rig is a mystery to me!
If there is a firebox down in the bottom then I am wondering how you add wood to it & it looks like it’s in the middle of the cooking chamber so you would want to put the meat on the sides.
Never seen anything like that. I think you will have to do some experimenting. I would suggest using chicken thighs, since they are cheap & can take some really large temp swings & still come out good.

Thanks again. I will stick with chicken while I figure this grill out.I think you will have to do some experimenting. I would suggest using chicken thighs, since they are cheap & can take some really large temp swings & still come out good.
