How do I use a charcoal smoker like this?

Light the charcoal and set the trays at the heights you want. Close the lid and use the vents and dampers to control airflow. Watch the thermometer and add charcoal through the front doors.

Should the charcoal BBQ lid be on or off?

Keep the lid on for smoking and slow cooking, because it holds heat and smoke in. Take it off for quick searing. Use the vents to fine tune the temperature.

How do I use a charcoal BBQ for the first time?

Build it, wipe the grates and light the charcoal. Let the coals turn grey before you cook. Keep the vents open at first. Never use it indoors or in a closed space.
