Stainless Steel Beehive Smoker Kit with Scraper & Leather Bellows
Product description
Thickened 301 stainless steel body: Constructed from reinforced 301 stainless, the main canister is designed for everyday beekeeping, resisting rust and wear for long-term use.
Dedicated hive scraper with onboard storage: The kit includes a purpose-made hive scraper that stores on the smoker itself, reducing the chance of misplacing the tool and keeping it handy during inspections.
Streamlined inspection workflow: Using the smoker together with the stored scraper makes frame checks and routine hive tasks quicker and more efficient.
American-style continuous smoke delivery: The smoker follows an American-style configuration that produces a steady, continuous stream of smoke to meet typical beekeeping needs.
Heat shield and improved bellows: A protective heat shield surrounds the canister for safer handling, while the bellows are upgraded leather for better sealing, airflow and extended service life.
Compact, portable footprint: Sized at approximately 4 inches in diameter by 11 inches high, the unit is easy to carry and operate in the field, suitable for beginners and seasoned beekeepers alike.

Perfect replacement — does the job
Replaced my old smoker and it performs well. The lid sits tightly after cooling, so warming it slightly makes removal easier. Charred material can glue the lid shut until you pry it open.

Well thought-out design and solid performance
Very pleased with the build. The larger, better-sealed bellows move more air than my previous unit. Inside perforated plates prevent debris from clogging airflow or falling into the hive. The full cage guard keeps you from touching the hot canister and the included multi-hive tool clips to the unit with room for a second. Holds a burn long enough for multiple inspections — would buy again.

Good starter smoker with handy features
Nice smooth leather bellows and a well-formed stainless canister. Standard smoker size and includes a scraper that stores on the unit. The wire heat shield protects hands and keeps the setup easy to work with for new beekeepers.

Steady, cool smoke and comfortable to use
This stainless set feels solid and the bellows pump smoothly to produce a calm, cool smoke that soothes bees without overheating. It lights easily, holds a charge longer than cheaper options, and loading or clearing ash is straightforward. The kit arrives ready to use and makes inspections much less stressful.
