Hi all,
I don't know how many hives everyone is working but I got tired of
collecting smoker fuel so I started buying pine hamster bedding.  It is dry
and easy to start and once going the smoker can be packed tightly without
extinguishing the fire.  There sufficient air between the small chips to
keep it smoldering enough that a couple pumps with the bellows gets it off
and running again.

P.S.  It does cause a lot of creosote build up in the smoker though!
