Directions

  1. IGNITE KINDLING IN SMOKER

    Add another handful of the well-burning material, and once burning, use a hive tool to push down towards the bottom of the smoker.
  3. REPEAT THE PROCESS
    Repeat 1 or 2 more times to get a strong-hot solid base.
  4. ADD B.CALM
    Place a single handful of B.Calm on top of the burning fuel and squeeze the bellow to help ignite B.Calm.
  5. STOKE THE SMOKE
    Once you see a mix of the tinted green smoke, continue to stoke the smoker with the bellow and add more Bee Calm as desired for the amount of smoke and time spent in the yard.
