We are just getting into beekeeping, and all the experts say this is exactly what we need. My girls have been using it a few times, and it has kept them calm, or at least occupied, while I check out their hive. It is well made, and it is a complicated device for the price. I think it is a good buy. This is a simple and easy way to get a nice smoke. In my case, I light several wadded up sheets of paper, then drop in a handful of straw or pine needles. Once they are on fire, I put two teaspoons of fairy dust on top The fireplace wood pellets I had in my hand. Their use is confined to fireplaces. When I use the bellows, I use slow puffs to make them glow, and I have more than enough smoke for 30 - 40 minutes. The time I need is 40 minutes. Various bee supply companies sell small bags of these wood pellets for around $20 each - you can also buy them from some lumber yards. Then why would you buy a 40 lb bag when a smaller bag is available at the local grocery store The following hardware is available What are you going to spend in the store? The quality of that will last you There were some reviews that stated the bottom of the smoker would get so hot it could start a grass fire if set down near the hive. To combat this, I studied my new smoker and noticed that it had an interior disc with holes in it. That might keep the fire going for a while, but it won't last very long. "Legs" are stamped in it, almost flat, so I bent those downward to give me more of an inch between the bottom of the can and the top. I love it! I hope it won't be hot enough to start a fire, but it still gets hot enough to get hot. A brick was positioned near the hive so that it could be parked safely while I did everything that needed to be done. A swarm of bees is taking over the house- Legs - Knees I recommend it!.
For the price, this is a great little smoker. There is no guarantee it will last forever, but it feels like it will last a couple of There is a difference between the top and the bottom, so if you don't realize that you should keep your bubble wrap on. You've got pretty hot embers and a fire inside for goodness sake! For best results, bend the little feet inside the barrel so they rest on the disk. Your fuel will be partly below that level, so there will be some breathing room for the engine. There has never been a problem with the battery We use the hinge for the lid regularly on our two hives without issue. It is likely to be the weakest point and to fail first. I want to thank you for your purchase. Have a good day. ** ** Update 8 Although only 17, this smoker is still a decent choice for a starter. Heat-resistant stainless steel holds up well to the heat and puts out a nice amount of There is no denying that the smoker's downfall is its bellows. "Leather" is poorly attached and has come loose at several points near the bottom, making each squeeze less effective. You could replace it with a nice one and have a smoker that would last a while. I'll contact the seller for a replacement bellows.
Takes a lot of practice, so try it out! Make a garter out of old cotton shirts that you can get from thrift stores. Rip them into strips and tie them into a tight knot. Light a KwikStart pellet or two in the smoker, then add green grass or leaves on top. Has worked for more than 20 years The time is thirty As well, I recommend having a spray bottle with 50-percent sugar water and using that first. From experience, the bees focus on sugar water instead of raiding honey.
As someone who has worked in the beekeeping field for quite some time, I have worked with many different types of smokers. There is no better value for money than this one. Definitely recommend for your backyard apiary or a small patch of bees. If you kept 50+ hives, I'd ask you for a larger reservoir so you can store more burlap, kindling, etc. and then upgrade to a larger body to handle the additional weight. The best smoker you can find. It's durable, handy, and all-around good. A possible example Located on the bottom shelf of the unit are adjustable arms that will need to be bent so the air can flow efficiently. Bend them all at 90 degrees in the same direction and place them in the bottom of the smoking cylinder body with the legs facing down. I beg Thee to save the.
The first year for me as a beekeeper, but I have been working with fire for many years. I was pleased with the performance of this smoker and the price. I cannot comment on the durability, but it looks like it will last quite a while. Because I'm a do-it-yourself kind of guy, I am likely to replace the leather (vinyl?) soon. I am sure that it is going to be seen as a) at some point, but for now it makes some awesome It has taken me a long time to figure out the right way to burn Levi's, Duraflame logs, and dry wood, but I finally settled on using pieces of Levi's first, then add some Duraflame. No problem going for 45 minutes with a little bit of each. The jeans act like a punk to keep the heat enough to slow burn the rest. Occasionally I add a green bunch of grass at the top of the smoke to get a really cool effect.
I saw lots of comments in beekeeping groups recommending that despite its cheap price, one should spend much more on brand name smokers. I tried this one over brand name ones since it had good reviews.
It You can do the only thing I recommend is gently bending up (or is it down?) if you remove the 'legs' of the round metal ventilation disk that sits inside the can on the bottom, the disk will stand off the bottom of the can because there will be more room for air to After that is done, pack it right and spend enough time lighting it up properly, and the smoker will stay lit comfortably for several hours. Personally, I only left it in the smoker for several hours once when I was testing it out, and then I put it out immediately after I finished using In addition, we haven't used it very often since then because, at the moment, we have docile bees who do not need to be smoked or sprayed with anything (at least for now).
