| Prepare your Smoker |
 | Your smoker should be free of excess debris and soot before you use it again. Remove the kindling tray and clean out your smoker. When replacing the kindling tray, make sure the posts of the tray do not obstruct the air hole at the base of the smoker. Wait to light your smoker as the last step before opening the hives. Preferably, fill and light your smoker at the apiary; it's much more convenient than carrying a lit smoker to the apiary and worrying about it falling over and spilling the fuel. |
