What should I do with my Brinkmann Smoke n Grill (EBC) once I buy a WSM?

So I've decided to buy a WSM 18.5" (it's just the gf and I and the occasional friend gathering). However I first tested smokers with an EBC because $40 ($35 smoker and $5 thermometer) was cheaper than $300. That said I didn't use it at all last year because I hate babysitting that thing ever 20 min to keep temps up. That said I'm not sure what to do with it once I buy the new one, so help me decide!

i will tell you what i did when i was in this situation. pay it forward. find a friend or a good kid (teen) and show him how to use the smoker and give it to them. Let them learn the hobby you love so much. I knew a family who loved my food in my church and i taught their teenage son how to smoke food and gave him my old smoker. i may just be weird but helping someone else was a lot better reward than $20.

Happy Smoking,
