Beroker copper

This beroker from the Deluxe series is made of copper, has a diameter of 10 cm and an overall height of 31 cm. The beroker is nicely finished. This model has an almost closed protection by means of a plate with holes. This prevents contact with the hottest parts. Furthermore, the bellows is made of sturdy synthetic leather. The inside has a grate for optimum aeration of the fuel.

How do you light a beroker?
Make sure the base is well ignited. Start with a wad of paper/dried leaves/pine needles (and possibly a smoke cube) in the beroker and light it to create an open flame. Use the bellows to grow the flame. Gently extinguish the flame with the tobacco (and or smoke pellets). In the beginning, keep pumping well with the bellows. Especially for smoke pellets, you need a really good fire in the beginning. Then close the lid and pump regularly to keep the beroker going. The kruidentabak en rookblokjes work a little easier for beginning beekeepers. The idea is to produce ample amounts of cool, white smoke.
