*I doubt that it is 'smoke', it is probably evaporated volatiles that are
energy negative. Some evaporate at 80 C.*

Greetings Stovers,



I’ve dried lots of biomass and char with no problem. But today I upped the
temperature to 200c but before it got to 130c one char sample started
smoldering like a fine Macanudo.  Sometimes in the past I’ve had biomass
with oils on a paper plate smolder at temps less than 105c. Just wondered
if others have seen this and why this would happen.



Thanks



Frank
