Stainless steel smoker with protection

    Recommendations for the use of the smoker:

Use the smoker gently, at a safe distance, as the objective is not to burn the bees, but to calm them. Smoke from the smoker interferes with the alarm pheromone (isopentyl acetate). The bees react to the smoke by eating as much honey as they can to calm themselves. When the smoke goes away, the bees soon return to their normal activity. To use the smoker, first open the smoker lid, check that the grate is securely in place. This grate supports the fuel for good combustion and is removable for easy cleaning. Now add the fuel, fill it halfway and light it. Use suitable fuels such as: dry vegetable matter, special fuels available on the market, etc.

    Maintenance and cleaning:

For the proper functioning of the smoker it is important to keep clean the hinge, smoke outlet mouth, body-lid gasket and especially the metal filters of the anti-spark kit, the air outlet hole of the bellows, for this disassemble the nuts-palomites and clean it, with this you will get better air flow.

     Cautions:

Turn the smoker on and off in the apiary.
Never transport it on and always in a metal container with an airtight seal (our smoker transport box).
always in a hermetically sealed metal container (our smoker transport box).
Keep the apiary clean of stubble and weeds.
Do not allow sparks or burning embers to fall.
Never point the smoker at a person.
Handle the smoker by the bellows.
Keep out of reach of children.
