Questions about a smoker

[bbq beginner]

Hello guys i have a question about the charbroil 1280 off set smoker from wal-mart, I have been using a mes 30 for about a year now and i am thinking about upgrading to the charbroil. It is low cost and something i can afford , however i have read reviews saying you have to mod it for it to be successfully used, is this true  as i am only fourteen and don't know much about mods let alone how to make them. So do i have to make the mods and what exactly would I need to do? any advice is appreciated.

                                                                                                                                                                      ,thanks - Giles
