Dear Dean
 
Agreed. I believe that Ernestine’s doctoral work with you for a year is a good indication that this is also true for wood.
 
For those who have not seen her thesis, it was a comparison of emissions for low, medium and high moisture fuels and how different stoves handled it.
 
Gus: The people in Java use the charcoal remaining from fires to warm the wood for tomorrow. This is important because it affects the fuel use that must be attributed to a meal (the char is not thrown away but it is consumed each day) and it means they are operating at a high system efficiency considering the drying that is being accomplished.

Hi All,
 
I find that pellets burn cleaner in TLUDs when at about 10% to 15% moisture content like sticks of wood. In both cases a slower burn helps to meter the fuel.
 
Best,
 
Dean
