Smoker Wick

Smoker Wick – Price Per Piece

Smoker wicks are an excellent fuel choice for bee smokers. Each wick burns for approximately one hour, producing smoke with a pleasant wood aroma. The wicks burn relatively quickly but are easy to use for short hive management tasks.

Product Features:

• Burn Duration: Approximately 1 hour
• Aroma: Pleasant wood scent
• Usage: Suitable for calming bees during hive work

Alternative Options for Smoker Fuel:

1. Rotten Wood (Tinder): Burns well but is difficult to ignite; best used with an igniter underneath.
2. Egg Cartons: Easy to ignite and sustain smoke; burns quickly and may contain unknown additives.
3. Fungi (Polypores): Produces good smoke, burns for a long time, and does not irritate bees; hard to ignite and extinguish.
4. Wood Shavings: Produces dense white smoke; keeps the smoker lit consistently.
5. Corn Cobs (Cores): Burns slowly and for a long time when dry; harder to ignite, requires an igniter.
6. Hemp Boards (Hobra): Produces consistent and long-lasting smoke; contents may include unknown additives.
7. Non-Natural Alternatives: Solid alcohol, liquid alcohol, PEPO firelighters, and other safe flammable materials.

Smoker wicks are a convenient and aromatic option for beekeepers, but for longer or more specific tasks, consider the alternatives above.
