One of the awkward things about the smoke generator for my smoker is that it’s quite awkward to get the tea light in and out to get it burning. One workaround is to put a screw through the side of the tea light to act as a handle, but the holders are now getting so thin that there’s really no support there. So I endeavoured to make my own.
I started with a bit of scrap zinc-coated steel sheet that I cut and bent into a vague “spoon” shape.
That fits the candle nicely, though it does get a bit hot once the tea light has been burning for a while.
A bit of dowel, a saw cut or two and some sanding and I also have a “handy” handle.
This makes life so much easier when starting the smoker. Everyone should have one. Preferably bought from me at hideous expense 😀
