[Stoves] Insulation and stove life

[Julien Winter]

Hello all;

Regarding ash dust and cristobalites in cook stove biochar.  Would not
this problem be largely solved for the char if was it was quenched
with water before handling?  Would particles carried in the steam be a
problem?  I believe that quenching with water also oxidizes and
hydrates the char surfaces, and prevents spontaneous combustion in
stored char.
