Why do I need a heat shield on a traditional smoker so it doesn't burn me?
Why can’t I set it down without worrying about starting a fire?
It’s the 2020s, and the traditional bee smoker hasn’t changed much since 1873. Is there a better way?!

Very happy with this unit. Small, lightweight, has a magnet on the side so I’m not constantly putting it down and then looking for it (stick it to the magnet in my bee suit pocket), it works super well. Extremely happy with this purchase!

Very happy with functionality of the smoker. Not happy with how easy the tank falls out or how the tank leaks if left in the unit between hive checks week to week. Overall B-

I had a veteran Beek out to assist with hive inspections, we live in a very dry area. Its awesome to not have to worry where you put the smoker.
Smells way better than yhr traditional smokers as well.
The veteran beek was very pleased that I allowed him to use my new smoker.
