Beginning beekeepers often complain of their frustration in keeping their smoker staying lit. Here is a short clip of how I light my smoker, and it stays lit for hours.
First, get a nice fire going. Snuff the flames out by packing fuel in tightly. Pump the bellows to build good embers in the packed fuel, and the fuel will then smolder all day instead of quickly burning out.
