Smoker Large – Stainless Steel
R590,00
A large stainless steel bee smoker is a core tool used to safely calm honeybees by blocking their alarm pheromones during hive inspections. Choosing a large size provides a larger fuel chamber, ensuring a longer burning time so you do not have to constantly stop and relight your fuel.
Key Features to Look For
- Durable Construction: Rust-resistant 201 or 304 stainless steel resists outdoor weathering and high heat.
- Protective Heat Shield: A wire mesh or solid guard that completely surrounds the hot canister to prevent accidental skin or gear burns.
- Perforated Fire Grate: A removable plate sitting at the bottom of the canister to promote consistent airflow and keep your fuel smouldering efficiently.
- Mounting Hook: A side or top hook used to hang the hot smoker safely on the edge of an open hive box while your hands are busy working.
- Heavy-Duty Bellows: Suede, cowhide, or synthetic leather bellows with a strong spring action to push directional smoke seamlessly into the hive entries.
