Scent Smoker Scent-Elimination System Looks Promising
Catching on mainly by word of mouth, the Scent Smoker scent-elimination system (scentsmoker.com) consists of a stainless-steel can in which you burn hardwood chips. Heavy smoke pours out of the Smoker’s spout for 10 minutes or more, enough time to de-stink a pair of hunters and all their gear.
According to the manufacturer, the smoke saturates your clothing and other gear with phenol, a naturally occurring antibacterial and antimicrobial. It also deposits lignin (the sticky substance found in woodsmoke), which keeps odor-causing bacteria from growing. (Phenol and lignin are also what prevents smoked meat from going bad.) Activated carbon is released in the smoke as well. Since the smell of smoke is common, goes the argument, it doesn’t spook deer.
At just $30 for a product that will last for years, burns cheap hardwood chips, and can be applied to clothing you already own, it’s worth a try.

I have always stayed away from smoke. I always thought it would scare deer if they smelled it on my clothes. Now I have to rethink the whole thing.
Interesting....I have also been taught to stay away from smoke. Growing up after an evening hunt, I would have to take off all hunting clothing before sitting by the campfire.
I have been using the scent smoker for a couple years now and like it very much. That being said it does not make me invisible to the nose of a deer. I will at times be winded, but honestly no more often than I did when I was wearing very expensive carbon clothing years ago. You must still pay attention to the wind don't believe the hype from any product. Some help more than others but none of them are 100% effective.
i hav used it several times and it is pretty effective, however agreeing with ohbowhunt nothing works 100% but try it is better than the thirty dollar a bottle scent eimination that last two days
junk!!
In our neck of the woods, when the Deer or Elk smell smoke they know man is in the forest. Unless there has been a forest or wild fire recently the only fire smell is from some ones camp fire or some one who was by a camp fire. Cover scent should be from the area you are hunting. For me it is sage or pine.
if you burn some of the bows from the trees where you hunt you will smell like that place. you can make one fo these smokers for cheep.
I have to agree with patch, a no go for me
An old guide trick for deer hunting was to burn some oak leaf upwind of a hunting spot. Causing the deer to check out the smell. Works. Try hunting a woods downwind of somebody burning leaves. The deer are relaxed and wonder around without alarm what so ever. This smoker was a great idea
Why wast your mony on that thing build a fire it puts out just as much smoke and its FREE!
kind of a worthless, ineffective, waste of money. Yeah the idea is good, but like these guys have said, smoke scares the animals where i hunt.

i believed in the same concept over the years that smoke or human oder spooks the deer, But in 2009 i was smoking a ciggerette and killed a deer at 8 yards so now if i want to smoke i do deer are curious
Remember way back the movie BAMBI - didn't his mom tell him man was in the woods when there was smoke/fire? patch could be spot on, fishinpal also gives you a way to try it for free if you'd like to.
It read good though and if it did work in your area so be it...
whats up with there web site.... every time i try to log in it keeps saying that it is under construction. trying to order one. any one have any ideas on how i can get my hands on one.
