Natural Compressed Wood Fibre

The smoker pellets are made from compressed natural wood fibre, providing a simple fuel option without the need for synthetic additives or chemical-treated materials.

Their compact and uniform shape helps provide a more consistent burn compared with loose smoker materials, making them convenient for regular hive inspections.

Designed for a Slow, Steady Burn

Once established, the pellets are designed to burn slowly and produce a steady supply of smoke. This makes them useful when you need your smoker to remain active while inspecting several frames or working through multiple hives.

The consistent pellet format also makes it easier to estimate how much fuel you need for each inspection.

Start the Fire With a Natural Starter

The pellets are designed primarily to maintain a fire rather than start one from cold. For easier lighting, use a natural starter such as crumpled cardboard, newspaper or pine needles first, then add the pellets once a good flame has been established.

This simple two-step approach helps the pellets catch properly and begin producing the steady smoke they are designed for.

54 Pellets Per Pack

Each pack contains 54 individual pellets, providing a convenient supply for multiple hive inspections depending on smoker size, fuel consumption and inspection length.

The individual pellet format also keeps the fuel neat and easy to store in your beekeeping equipment area.

Easy to Store and Handle

Unlike loose smoker fuel such as grass, leaves or wood shavings, compressed pellets are uniform and compact. They can be stored easily with your other beekeeping supplies and added to the smoker as needed.

Their consistent size also makes them straightforward to handle when preparing your smoker before an inspection.

Suitable for Standard Bee Smokers

The pellets are designed for use as bee smoker fuel and can be used in standard smoker setups. They are particularly useful for beekeepers who prefer a convenient, consistent fuel source rather than collecting loose natural materials before every inspection.
