[Stoves] oven-dried vs sun-dried biomass and TLUD stoves

[rajan_jiby at dataone.in]

Dear All,

I have a feeling that oven-dried biomass if used in a TLUD stove can lead to higher "particulate matter" emissions from the stove - which can be a health hazard.

So, probably a moisture content of around 10 to 15 % ( not more ) in the fuel has a positive role to play.

The best sun-drying may be giving us this moisture content.

Regards,

Rajan
