I would expect there are as many different fuel/starter combinations as there
are smokers out there. I was told by the fellow that first got me started in
beekeeping that if you put three beekeepers in one room and asked a question
you would get 7 answers--he was correct!!! And that is a GOOD thing!
For what its worth, I used to use paper for starter, but the dryer lint works
well, is free, lights easier than even the paper. I keep it and my fuel
which is usually just what I manage to rake up in the yard (leaves from oaks
and apple trees mixed with pine needles) in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid. If
I need a really long smoke I will add a 1/2-1 cup of the processed pellets
available from Dadant or Western Bee. These will last a long time, though I
dont like the smell as much.
