Ive been using dry horse manure for years. It's easy to light, stays lit, and makes lots of cool smoke. As horse manure comes in convenient balls about the size of a golf ball, just drop in a few every now and then and you can keep a smoker lit all day if needed. Horse manure is densely packed grass fiber and when tryed makes excellent smoker fuel and the price is right, free. Hello from Texas!
@cpotter1268 thanks for watching. You can only see a tiny part of my garden in the video, which I agree is tidy. If I was to show you the rest of my plot you’d be delighted with the wild untouched areas and wildflowers. Maybe a good subject for another video!
Thanks for watching. I’m looking into an Apisolis vapour bee smoker and may well get one in the future. Although the cost (around £170) is putting me off at the moment.

Just curious what method you use for getting them started?
do you just pile the horse manure upp or what? how do you get it
I liked what you did so much that I subscribed! I just know that I will like the way you tell me things. Much appreciated…
What a lovely bee yard
Love the mower!
Walter White teaches beekeeping.
Haha, been called far worse! Although Walter White as a bad ass beekeeper would be a film I’d definitely watch.
Man had a taste of honey and wondered "Why the hell are we making meth?"
You aren't kidding when you say an old coat hanger. I don't think I've seen a metal coat hanger here in the United States for over a decade now.
Your garden could be a beautiful wild flower meadow. However, you have a robot lawn mower.

@@andykennedy5951 dann sind wir gespannt auf das Video das den Rest des Garten zeigt😊
All that smoke kept interfering with the video of the job the mower was doing
What kind of wood pellets are they?
Eco Barn Premium wood pellets, 15kg sack. £15.99 free delivery Amazon Prime, UK.
Thanks for the video Andy. What’s the green and yellow things over the entrances on your hives? I’m guessing some sort of wasp or mouse excluder
Entrance reducers, with sliders. Fully open at the moment, but can reduce to single bee entrance when the wasps make an appearance.
Is that not one of the smokers with the asbestos bellows
Für was der Mähroboter? Die Bienen finden hohes Gras attraktiver. Die Fläche für den Roboter darf auch kleiner sein.

what make robot mower is it
Husqvarna 430x, keeps the grassed area around my apiary neatly mown without disturbing the Bees.

Hello Andy,
Do you know Apisolis, much simpler and much less dangerous and toxic than the smoker ?
