[Stoves] Char used for cooking

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Frank, surely those gases are just part of the 15% non-carbon content of charcoal?

Stovers,

When i do a butane activity test I pass butane gas through the char and a good char will take up ~ 20g butane for every 100 g dry char. Most is around 8 g added to 100 g dry. On a volume basis there should be an increase in energy. Filling stoves is done on a volume basis. Not sure about increase of energy on a weight basis. Butane is what I use but the char will take up other organic gases.

Regards

Frank
