Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What fuel should I use in a 19.3cm smoker?

• Natural materials work best.
• Pine needles, burlap, wood shavings, dried leaves, or cotton rags produce optimal, cool white smoke.
• Avoid synthetic fabrics or chemically treated wood because they release toxic fumes that harm your colony. 

How does the heat shield protect the beekeeper?

• A built-in wire mesh cage completely surrounds the 19.3cm hot metal barrel.
• This barrier prevents your hands or clothing from making direct contact with the hot steel surface.
• A convenient mounting hook is integrated into the shield for hanging the unit safely on the side of a hive box. 

What is the function of the internal tank?

• It creates an air gap between the burning fuel and the outer barrel.
• This secondary chamber improves airflow from the bellows to the nozzle.
• It minimizes the exterior temperature of the smoker body, keeping the unit safer to handle. 

How do I store the smoker after a hive inspection?

• Plug the smoker nozzle with a cork, a piece of wood, or dense green grass.
• This suffocates the fire by cutting off the oxygen supply.
• Allow the entire body to cool completely before packing it into enclosed storage spaces or vehicles.

Can the bellow parts be replaced if they wear out?

• Yes, the corium/leatheroid bellows are modular parts.
• They can be unbolted or unscrewed from the stainless steel bracket for quick repairs.
