I have washed my smoker bellows with soda solution and let them dry naturally but to do it often might not be good for them. Now I use gaffer tape over them as it keeps them pretty clean and can be pulled off and thrown away. The plastic bag idea did not work for me because the bag worked loose and melted against the hot part of the smoker. It might be worth experimenting to find something strong smelling to cover the smell of stings. Perhaps something like lavender oil.
