DIY Smoker
« on: March 18, 2010, 02:05:42 pm »
 
I would like to ask for any plans on making a DIY Smoker.
I was thinking along the big tin can with a little smaller tin can inside, for the combustion chamber and a copper pipe nozzle at top, copper pipe INPUT near bottom, bent up to let you blow air in.
Hope you can visualize that.

That's quite close, but instead of Bellows, I figured a detective's pipe stem.
Thanks for the link.  :)

The problem with those is that you have to cut a hole into your veil in order to get it to your mouth.  Then the bees can get to your mouth too.... ;)

Just take hits off of the smoker.  Aren't we all smokers when it comes to bees?

I'd guess they just need to take a break every so often like everybody else.
