Mini Smoker

Stainless steel smoker with a diameter of 8 cm and a total height of 21 cm. Excellent small smoker for the beginning beekeeper with a small number of colonies. Comes with spacer and excellent bellows.

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 to create an open flame, which you can grow using the bellows. Carefully smother this substantial flame with tobacco (or smoke pellets). Continue 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, can lead to irritation, and scorch the wings of the bees. The herbal tobacco / smoke blocks work somewhat easier for beginning beekeepers.
