Newbie from Kansas

[heartlandnewbie]

Hi all, my name is Charlie and I'm from eastern Kansas. Im a 24 year old student currently working on an A.S in Buisness Adminstration from a juinor college. I was born and raised in south Texas so I like to say that i have bbq sauce flowing through my veins! I enjoy cooking and want to start smoking meat more. I currently only have a 24" long charbroil charcoal grille (not the one with the firebox) so i know im severely limited to what I can do. Id like to purchase a real smoker but times are tough right now. Can anyone provide tips for using a grille like this for smoking?

I know this isn't the same grill you have but here are some threads using a Weber Kettle to smoke with. These methods can be adapted to what you have, the main thing is to just set it up for indirect heating:
