The BBQ dragon is a nice blower, but probably best used when you're wanting to get a bed of charcoal really hot for direct grilling (like steak night). A system like the Thermoworks billows can be helpful, but it's not a "Fix All" I do own this system, and it does work. In order for it to work really well, you'll want to be sure your WSM doesn't have too many air leaks, and it's still important to build the fire correctly. I really like mine but I only use if for cooks that are 8 hours or longer, or if I'll have to leave the house for a few hours while the WSM is running.
If you do decide to buy the Thermoworks, you'll need to make sure you get the fan, power supply cable, and cables to connect the fan to the controller and such... I really like Thermoworks products, but when I bought mine, some of the cables were not included. You might need to buy 3 different line items.
