The Smoker

It took me some time to get my smoker to work well and not burn out just as you get into the hive. I had tried several fuels from cotton, pine nettles and pellets.  What works best for me is twine.  I ball up 30 feet of it and light it with a propane torch.   It is cheap, simple and easy.  One ball will last just over one hive inspection and then I put in the next one.
