Put all of it in big cooler and put the spout of the Bee Smoker on the cooler drain plug, filled with smoke, shut lid and let sit overnight.
Hunted 3 times since and have not had a deer blow, had 4 deer..3 little bucks within 10yds downwind and none changed attitude..except one spike and I killed it with recurve as it turned to walk away. Could have been my tobacco spit on the ground it didn't like. So far I'm very pleased with the smoke.
I've heard of this but was always afraid to try it, thinking if I could be more scent free it would be better than being all smoked up. But like you, I too get sweaty in any weather even with short easy slow walks. I just sweat. I'm not overweight either and in fairly decent shape. So smelling like smoke would be a much better alternative than sweat LOL. i'm gonna do this and see what happens.
