<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>The reason for calculating the left

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>I have been doing <SPAN

have retained heat capabilities so I am only doing water boiling test with the
first prototype.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>My “no<SPAN

as soon as the water boils I lift up the stove and cap the remaining fuel. The
remaining wood and char is extinguished in 15 min. Then I weigh what is
left.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

char and 152 gr of partially charred wood. Most of the wood still looks like
wood and it is not torrified but I am sure it has a different moisture

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN

will “save wood” so it may not be practical to change the WBT 4.2.2 just for me
so I could do a calculation and add it to the (equivalent dry wood consumed)

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN
