If you aren't too set on adding a fire box to your existing grill you shoudl check out a UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker) they are very easy to build, you can fit a ton of meat on them, they burn for 12-20 hours and they are light so you can take them with your where you go. They are made out of a 55 gallon barrel. I built on this past winter and LOVE it. It is by far the most used smoker I own. Just a suggestion.
