Beekeeper's smoker made of stainless steel with protection grid. One of the best quality-price options on the market.
When you arrive at the apiary and sense the bees are a bit restless, a good stainless steel smoker with protective grid makes all the difference. This model delivers a cool, steady smoke and is easy to handle thanks to its wood and leather bellows, letting you inspect brood boxes, lift supers, or adjust frames with calm control.
The protective grid shields the body to prevent burns when working among hives or placing the smoker on the ground. Stainless steel ensures hygiene, easy cleaning, and corrosion resistance for long-term use season after season.
Recommended fuels and usage tips
• Bark or sawdust pellets, dry shavings, or pine needles: slow-burning and gentle smoke that soothes without irritating.
• Lavender, jute, or natural burlap (undyed): quick start, pleasant aroma—perfect for delicate honey flows.
• Clean straw or ink-free cardboard: maintain embers and steady smoke.
• Avoid plastics, treated wood, or overly resinous materials (hot, harsh smoke).
• Tip: start with a natural starter or a dry pine cone, add fuel gradually, and control airflow with the bellows. Two or three pumps, wait 10–15 s, and work from the leeward side.
You’ll notice the difference when you can open brood chambers, move Hoffmann frames, or check entrances without alarming the colony. Durable, safe, and excellent value for money—a reliable companion for any beekeeper.
