> ...articles on smoker fuel... > BC August 2002 Blowin' Smoke by James Fischer > Available from the Bee Culture archives www.beeculture.com Nope, Bee Culture magazine still has little or no IT support worthy of the name, so the archives are still a hit-or-miss affair. Not to worry, though, the cited article is here: http://bee-quick.com/reprints/smoke.pdf But the entire point of that article was that there is little difference between the various choices in smoker fuels, as combustion products and by-products are highly variable when a smoker is actually smoking (smoldering). If anyone is keeping score, I use a mix of easy-to-start pine needles and longer-burning shredded wood from a local mill that makes fence-posts. -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l for rules, FAQ and other info ---
