Paul,

Thanks for your note.

I would add a few more details to the 4 quadrants.

1. The X axis, left to right, could be the soot axis.  On the far left heavy soot deposited on pot bottoms.  On the far right, no soot deposited on pot bottoms.

2. The Y axis, north to south, could, at the top, be fully carbon negative and, at the bottom, carbon positive.

Regards,

Jock
