Get Your Smoker Going Easily: OZ Armour Kraft Paper Strips for Beekeeping
The OZ Armour Kraft Paper Strips for Beekeeping provide a simple, convenient way to get a bee smoker started before adding longer-burning fuel. Made from kraft paper, these strips are designed to catch quickly and help establish a steady burn for producing smoke during hive inspections and routine apiary work.
Available from OZ Armour, they are a practical addition to a beekeeper's smoker supplies and can be kept ready alongside other essential hive equipment.
Convenient Kindling for Your Bee Smoker
Getting a smoker started can sometimes be fiddly when using larger pieces of fuel alone. Kraft paper strips provide an easy starting material that can help establish the initial burn before adding your preferred smoker fuel.
Once the smoker is properly lit, beekeepers can add suitable longer-burning materials to maintain the smoke required for their hive work.
Easy to Keep with Your Apiary Equipment
The lightweight paper strips take up very little space, making them convenient to store with your smoker and other hive tools. Having dedicated smoker kindling on hand can also make preparation quicker when moving between colonies.
For best results, use only suitable untreated smoker fuel and avoid materials that have been painted, chemically treated or contain substances that could produce unsuitable smoke around bees or honey.
Useful for Routine Hive Inspections
A properly prepared smoker is a familiar part of many beekeeping setups. Kraft paper strips can help simplify the lighting stage, allowing you to focus on preparing the hive and equipment before beginning an inspection.
They are particularly useful for beekeepers who want a readily available starting material rather than searching for suitable paper or cardboard before each hive visit.
