I've often heard that the large Dadant outperforms other smokers but I can't see why that should be so. You can get smokers for a fraction of the price in similar dimensions and design that will function for hours (and survive periods in a metal box between apiaries) if you have the knack with fuel and lighting. I'd really like to know what's special about the Dadant. I'd get one if it really was in a class of its own.Save up and treat yourself to a Dadant, it's a must for anyone with more than a handful of hives
EDIT Sorry, I've just seen that you've been singing the Dadant praises above - but I can't see WHY it should be better, all other things being equal.
