We don't just sell these smokers—we use them. As trade teachers and commercial beekeepers, we need gear that survives Tassie weather and daily abuse. The BeeCo Stainless Steel Smoker is the only one that made the cut. That’s why we’ve proudly put the Frogmouth Ponds name on them. If it’s not good enough for our apiary, we wouldn't sell it for yours.
