A DIY trick my fx friend uses: Smoke.
What you will need:
(Sorry for links, on mobile)
Smoking wood chips: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002YOB464/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1395768466&sr=1-1&pi=SY200_QL40
Disclosure: These are an example. I am not sure if these provide the best visual smoke, but I imagine a little research on a forum or two can yield some more info.
Charcoal briquettes: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ABYBF2W/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1395768619&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40
Aluminum pans: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000WEMG74/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1395768667&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40
Bucket of water: cookcountyrecord.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/bucket.jpg
Soak the wood chips in the bucket overnight before the shoot.
Put briquettes in aluminum pans, ignite(if you've never done it before, look it up, it's not just dropping a match), and then just add the wood chips. Boom. Continuous, steady smoke as long as you keep dropping chips every 10 minutes or so.
The trick will be placing the pans in the right places: a few feet out of frame upwind, behind obstacles, or in shallow holes that can be hidden from camera.
Also, don't ignite before placement without some heavy duty gloves.
I use the weber drip pan on my grill and typically fill it with Apple Cider - https://www.amazon.com/Weber-6415-2-Inch-5-inch-Aluminum/dp/B000WEKLTE/ref=sr_1_5?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1518989713&sr=1-5&keywords=weber+grill+accessories
It may not be totally necessary but it seems to work well.
Is an add on item okay if you are buying a birthday gift? I am just assuming that you are spending more than $25 : )
...
Edit: I am going to assume it is okay for now since I am going to bed, of not, a gift card would be great! pans
Porks looks great my man!
How high did your temp reach when you were smoking yours? Also, did you use the water pan and did it even boil up/evaporate/or even needed to refill the pan?
Ive read on a review on amazon that the guy used this Weber pan instead of the one that came with the smoker. I bought it and it fits just perfectly and allows for a little extra water storage/drip area. Best thing is that you can just throw it away when your done.

I was really looking into getting the smaller size which is what you have but i saw an offer on craigslist for a brand new xl size and $80 so i couldnt pass it up. I didnt really need the bigger size but it was a great deal.
This is the item but it appears that they're currently out of stock

Have you seasoned it yet? When you do you’ll see where the liquids will drip from as the oil leaks out. At least mine did.
You should use the charcoal box. Place it on top of the bottom grate in the firebox and fill it 1/4- 1/2 on one side and then dump the lit chimney on the other. It should slowly cause the other ones to catch. Then throw some wood on there. You’ll figure it out pretty quick. I actually turned the bottom grate the opposite way to elevate the metal charcoal box higher so I got better air flow.
For drippings inside I don’t do anything. For the grease drain port on the bottom I bought the $10 Oklahoma Joe Drain Bucket on Amazon. Otherwise just out a foil pan or pot or something under there just in case.
For the thermometer, I just closed the lid on my cheap one. But I have a nicer thermometer now and I think I’m going to try putting it up through the grease drain. If that doesn’t work I will just gently close it. I have found my stock thermometer on the lid runs about 35-50 degrees higher than the temperature at the grate.
In the future I want to drill a hole on the side and install one of those rubber thermometer ports to allow for easy entrance. Here, I’ll link you:
