Worth it to add a SFB?

[big10fan]

Looks like I'm going to come across one of these (given to me) and am wondering if it would be worth it to try and add a SFB as well.  I know a dude who can weld, but would it be worth the hassle?  And what would it take to make/find a SFB to add to it?  Thanks a million!

Check with chargriller.com or Lowes also carries the SFB, I think they are like $59 or $69.  Makes smoking with this unit a breeze.

for real?  wow.  well, now I need to check for sure.  Not 100% sure it's a chargriller.  You just made me night if that's the case!

just checked online and it looks like it runs about 80 bones.  do i have any other options if that doesn't work?

Keep looking, I have seen them on sale for $39

Absolutely get a SFB! And check the threads on the mods that dial that type of smoker in to a near perfect performer...JJ

thanks again guys, will keep looking and will let you know if that's a different grill.

i was a different grill.  and i was too stupid to put the thread in here.  here's the new thread.

it is a brinkmann, and an older (but little used) model.  doubt any SFB i can find will fit on well.  just learned that brinkmann does make a SFB though, so will be looking for one of those.

if you are good with tools,you can use the knockout as a templet for drilling the holes and cut out what ever shape you want in side the holes. perhaps an inch inside them should work. this is with the chargriller side box. just make sure to mount it high enough for the opening to be above the bottom of the main chamber,but still lower then the main chamber.

thanks for the advice everyone.  here's what i ended up doing.  really appreciate the wisdom!
