So you're no longer doing it? If not, what made you stop?I tried it a few years back with good results
That's what I use. I gave a gallon size zip lock stuffed with white pine needles. A hand full in the bee smoker smokes for a few minutes...long enough to smoke body as I dress and also all of my gear for the day.......If need something to make it easy to coat your clothes instead of having to build a fire can pick up a honey bee smoker for $20.
I think pine needles would br better than pine pitch.I've looked at the bee smokers and I might pick one up. I have some pine resin fire starter sticks that I am trying in the mean time.

Oh, i meant for open flame use...not to be used in a smoker. Like hanging your clothes near the fire in your back yard type of thing.I think pine needles would br better than pine pitch.
I occasionally use a little piece of pine pitch in my wood stove and it leaves a tough coating where it melts and drips onto my ash pan. Pitch mighy start gunking up the bottom of the bee smoker?? IDK. Hey maybe that residue may actually be beneficial.
I use ozone on my gear, too. But I suspect that the main benefit of smoke is as an odor PREVENTATIVE because it inhibits bacterial growth.I used smoke one year and thought it worked well. Not foolproof, but it helped. I got tired of everything smelling of smoke and having to shower after every hunt, so switched to ozone.
