"I think there are better choices for smoker fuel but maybe on the list are 
beekeepers which use cotton exclusively for smoker fuel."

My family's old blue jeans (also cotton) get cut up for smoker fuel. The
denim burns longer than my other choice, pine needles, and gives off good
smoke. I usually throw a handful of green grass on top before closing it for
a cooling effect.
