Subject line ought to read "to rehab" sorry

It's a dual chamber gas/coal grill. I'm going to add an offset smoker from Dyna-Glo (Brinkmann stuff is all discontinued and I can't find the optional offset chamber anywhere, plus Dyna-Glo seems a little bit heavier duty)

I've been reading a lot - I now realize an offset smoker isn't ideal, but this was a generous handmedown and I'm determined to see what I can make it do.

I figure after I'm done painting, I will burn it in and try to watch where there's a poor air seal. I imagine that'll be.....everywhere, lol. I'll order some hi temp silicone, or maybe a gasket?

After that, I'll try to devise a baffle to distribute the heat better. And then to figure out some better thermometry.

What else do you think I should do? Wish me luck!

Welcome to SMF from Minnesota.
Thanks! I keep meaning to get up that way sometime - I'm originally southern, living in Chicago, and I've made it as far as the UP and north woods of Wisconsin. I've at least eyeballed Lake Superior!
