Go for it BlackMamba, I have a Brinkman Pro smoker at home and am building an industrial size because I feel the need. You have a good smoker, most problems people have with a side fire box is getting the cooking chamber hot enough. I use about 5 lbs of charcoal to get my fire started then add a couple of pieces of wood to it. Oak, Mesquit, pecan or what ever you have that is good for cooking. Get the temp up in the cooking chamber to 275 +- 20 degrees F. Then put your meat on and sit back till its done. You will need to add another piece or two of wood each time the temp starts to fall. There are other little tricks you will learn for your pit, but with time you'll figure it out.
