I mentioned the discussion of smoker fuel on BEE-L to an older beekeeper
friend; I was excited about the pellet stove fuel.
 
He smiled and reminded me that his choice of fuel was free, lit easily and
burned slowly and surely. And all he had to do was pick up a dried cow
chip from the pasture.
 
He reminded me that this was following in the rich tradition of the native
peoples who used the grazing buffalos' dried dung for fuel.
