burners have been created in the Erzgebirge region of 
Germany since 1856.  Since the earliest designs, 

German craftsman today still produce smokers as 
forestry workers, miners, chimney-sweeps, mailmen, 
bird watchers and other different folk.  Our smokers

The home of the first smoking man was Heidelberg, a 
small village near Seiffen in the Erzgebirge.  By 
word of mouth, it is known that Ferdinand Frohs and 
his nephew Gotthelf Friedrich Haustein produced the 
first smoking man in 1856.
