Smoker (Model) Dadant Micro

Stainless steel smoker with a diameter of 6 cm and a total height of 18 cm. Excellent small smoker (even smaller than the mini smoker) for the beginning beekeeper with a small number of colonies. Comes with spacer and excellent bellows.

How do you light a smoker?
Ensure 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 to create an open flame, which you allow to grow using the bellows. Carefully smother this substantial flame with tobacco (or smoke pellets). Continue pumping well with the bellows at the beginning. Especially for smoke pellets, you need a really good fire to start with. Then close the lid and pump regularly to keep the smoker going. The goal is to produce ample amounts of cool, white smoke. Don't use blue smoke, which is too hot, can cause irritation and scorch the wings of the bees. The herbal tobacco / smoke blocks work a bit easier for beginning beekeepers.
