I guess I'd do it like a traditional smoker (like we had when I was a kid). Put in some coals/wood/pellets, light them, then let it do its thing.
The kind we had looked sort of like a barrel. It stood upright and had a dome-shaped lid. There was a door on the side at the bottom where you put in the charcoal/wood/whatever, then a grate up top for the meat. We had it for quite a while, but my dad never kept it covered so it eventually rusted and he threw it away.
Similar to this...
But that's why I was asking about turning a grill into a smoker. If it can't be done, I'd rather just buy one. BUT, it seems I now have to by a new range (oven). The element on my current one went out yesterday and it can't be replaced (part isn't made, anymore and there isn't a replacement).
