charles 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 have used this smoker with varying success it tends to take longer for rats to bolt probably the lack of noise. used last year no problems this year starting problems not sure why anyone got any ideas well, it can only be one of two things, empty gas bottle, or the ignitation switch had actually checked the most obvious things and some not so obvious have you used this type of smoker?

Halfinch 51 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 These were actually discussed to bits here some time ago. And I must admit, while initially being very sceptical myself, I was surprised to see them actually pronounced as pretty damn good! Seems they're based on the unit there which has long since been sold in USA as an insect fumigator for household use. Pat Burns is well familiar with them and really had nothing bad to say about them. They Don't fall apart and they're Not just some cheap bit of gimmickry, so we were assured. They're simply a commercialy produced piece of kit for doing a job ~ much like that power drill in ye tool cupboard. I'd have one myself, if I could make use of it. But I only have one terrier and I can't see her doing much against a rush of fleeing rats. I also encounter few enough situations where Smoking would be my first solution either. But I must say, when ever I see that hulking great 'Mexican Ferret' I keep in my own store room here, I always dread the day I might have to bring it out and try to use it. I just Know the damn thing'll let me down. Refuse to start or else konk out as the client looks on. So, maybe if I ever come acros the situation where I Must Smoke? I'd sooner grab one of these and feel more relaxed about attempting the job. It seems they work. How's it going Ditch, never heard from you in ages, ye've not been smoking them "Mexican Ferret joints" again have ye? lovely to hear from you, ian. ditch,s post is 15 months old ian Quote Link to post
