I have another newbie question. :-)
 
What is a good smoker fuel which doesn't leave me smelling like I need a shower
after I get done working with my bees?
 
I have been using dry, long pine needles.  The smoke doesn't upset the bees.
However, when I get done, I (and my clothes) don't smell that great.  I smell
more like burned [broadleaf] leaves rather than pine needles. My roommate
doesn't even want me in the house until I 'air out'.
 
Any suggestions on a less smelly fuel?  Or, perhaps, I am overdoing it with
the smoke?
