building a smoker

I'm wondering how you convert a regular Weber barbecue into
a smoker. I hope it can be easily done because I am
hopeless at 'handy' type things...

You don't even say *which type* Weber... and by your own
admission, 'handy' you're not... better you simply obtain a
separate smoker. Brinkman is good, and inexpensive.

You don't need to convert anything - just cook with
indirect heat.

Put the coals on one side of the BBQ, and the food on the
grate on the other side (with an aluminum drip pan
underneath). Toss some wood chips on the coals, or wrap them
in foil and toss that on the coals.

Or, bank the coals on the both sides and put the food in the
middle (above a drip pan).

I assume that by smoker you mean a hot smoker, AKA barbecue.

Check your local library and see if they have the book
"Smoke and Spice" by the Jamisons. In that book there are
directions, with illustrations, on using a kettle as a
BBQ device.
