Over here birch bark would work quite well with the method you've shared with us.I do something similar with corrugated cardboard,it's not natural but as you say rolling as you do really gives you good burn time.Good idea a lot of beesource people will really run with your idea.Excellent thinking on your part!I've always said I learn more from those who know less than those who know more.I wouldn't have thought of using much else than what I do if you wouldn't have posted your idea.Fantastic keep on thinking!Let us know of anymore ideas you come up with.I'm always open to new ideas.thanksand enjoy your bees!:applause:

Interesting!
I think I heard of someone doing the same with correlated cardboard. Easier to obtain if you don't happen to have an Aussie tree in your yard!

Good ole dried pine cones and green grass as a topper...

Nice!

Now if I could only find one of them Australian trees over here.

Yep. That is the way I do it. Except that I use cardboard. Mann Lake keeps sending me all those big cardboard boxes when I order things. Charlie

Glad to hear it, I'm starting to think that rolling just about any bark into rolls might do the trick (providing it's not poisonous). The local beekeeping club out hear has a "How long will your smoker keep lit" contest - think I might have a crack at it

You've a real good chance at it! Longest burn I've been able to get out of a smoker without having to keep adding fuel. Experiment with different barks and roll it tight you should win:thumbsup:
