Beroker Medium Budget 26 cm

Beroker Medium Buget model, made of stainless steel with a diameter of 9.5 cm and a total height of 26 cm. The beroker is slightly less neatly finished than the Deluxe model. Equipped with a protective grid. Furthermore, the bellows is made of sturdy synthetic leather. The inside has a grate for optimal aeration of the fuel.

How do you light a beroker?
Make sure you have a good ignitable base. First place a wad of paper/dried leaves/pine needles (and possibly a smoke cube) in the beroker and light it to create an open flame, which you grow with the bellows. You carefully extinguish this substantial flame with tobacco (or smoke pellets). In the beginning, keep pumping well with the bellows. Especially for smoke pellets you need a really good fire for a while. Then close the lid and pump regularly to keep the beroker going. The idea is to produce ample amounts of cool, white smoke. Do not use blue smoke, which is too hot which can lead to irritation and scorch bees' wings. The kruidentabak / rookblokjes work a little easier for beginning beekeepers.
