<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have a feeling that oven-dried biomass if used in
a TLUD stove can lead to higher "particulate matter" emissions from the stove -
which can be a health hazard.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So, probably a moisture content of around 10 to 15
% ( not more ) in the fuel has a positive role to play.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The best sun-drying may be giving us this moisture
content.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
