So, if not BBQ Dragon, what's a better alternative? Personally, I creatively use a balloon pump (I'm an amature balloon artist), and it works great. It's just a manual effort.

Not sure, I know a lot of people like the dragon . I rarely used it. I was just hoping for more durability than that.
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
Trust me I needed more that 30 secs with a torch. Got lots of them in my tool box. Big and small. They work GREAT! Not the same class of tool in my mind. : )
Anybody remember these from the early day of the pit:
I'm going to try and mod this as a DIY dragon since it dosent fit on my Spirt. Could be fun.

I occasionally use the Dragon with charcoal, it only takes about fifteen seconds to get it rip roaring. I use it mostly with my stickburner, blow it in the intake vent and it works magic for a good hot fire. I usually keep mine on the lowest setting and it lasts all day with good rechargeable batteries.
We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).
LOL Jon Solberg ! I was thinking just that on Sumday as I was inhaling some rough smoke to blow into the corner of the SnS on Sunday! Too funny.
But I think I like your torch idea better. I had thought about grabbing #1s hair dryer, but I'd already used it to defrost a freezer that hadn't been thawed in YEARS. I only have so much stupidity left in me.
