Christa,

I have done that too. If the TLUD  is very poorly tuned, you can get nasty deposits from "dry" wood pellets. I have made some very nice creosote from wood pellets with TLUDS that were operating at too low a temp and had a very poor fuel air ratio with insufficient turbulence in the burning gases.

I find that, with proper tuning, I can achieve clean results from about any fuel, including freshly cut wood chips @ 40% moisture content. I can say this from experience.

Currently,  I am working in TLUD powered retorts heated from the bottom with gas jets coming out from the top.  These are the opposites of TLUDS as they are Bottom  Up designs.  So far so good. More to come...

Regards,

Jock
