Vulkan 2.0 smoker

The Vulkan 2.0 is a super sturdy black powder-coated metal smoker, equipped with a button that allows you to turn it on and off (read the accompanying manual before use.)

How do you light a smoker?
Ensure you have a good combustible base. First place a wad of paper/dried leaves/pine needles (and possibly a smoke block) in the smoker and light it so that an open flame develops, which you can grow using the bellows. Carefully smother this substantial flame with tobacco (or smoke pellets). Keep pumping well with the bellows in the beginning. Especially for smoke pellets, you need a really good fire to start. Then close the lid and pump regularly to keep the smoker going. The aim is to produce ample amounts of cool, white smoke. Don't use blue smoke, which is too hot and can lead to irritation and scorch the wings of the bees. The herbal tobacco / smoke blocks work a bit easier for beginning beekeepers.
