[Stoves] question about char

[Frans Peeters]

Dear Frank,

   Think abou ETHERIC OILS
Ether by age , it makes polyoxygen,peroxyde bonds  dangerous for self
ignition !
So find out what plants you started with ... ?
PINE -------> TERPENEN  terpentin
Weimuth,the soft needless pine gives supper glueing harsh .

Regards
Frans


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
