Smoke in beekeeping must be cool -- you don't calm bees by setting fire to their wings!
There are a number of things you can use but it must be something that will smoulder rather than burn with flames. Examples are dry grass, rolled corrugated cardboard (but not if it is treated with a fire retardant), cotton waste, burlap or hessian sacking. You can also buy pelleted smoker fuel which is usually compressed wood chips. Remember one thing: too much smoke can be worse than too little. If you go mad with the smoke it can make the bees angry.
