Mike,
I own a NBBD. After I bought the WSM I converted my NBBD into a lump-maker
for the WSM. The NBBD works better to make lump than it did to make Q. It
was terribly inefficient with fuel and difficult to control the temp as you
already know. It was really simple to make it into a lump maker. I would
recommend it for that.
