Hi Dean,<br>
I remember that there was a proposed university program (W. Virginia
or the Carolinas??) In view of the deaths(not _many_ but tragic)
that have taken place due to off-loading of pellets at some European
ports (CO in the hold) The torrefaction could lead to a more inert
fuel. That's hopeful speculation on my part however. You would be
transporting some less bound water and the energy density is better
than regular pellets in addition to the lack of liquid or vapor H2O
absorption issue mentioned before-- these would lend efficiencies in
the logistics end of things and an even more uniform fuel than
regular pellets, which tend to absorb quite a bit of water here in
the damp winter weather...<br>
I have to admit that I'm a bit puzzled as to what you mean by
cleaner fuel recipes. What specific pollutant are you interested in
or are you talking about particulate?<br>
If you aren't choking the burn by putting the pot too close, you
should be getting a very clean burn with a TLUD?!?<br>
<br>
regards,<br>
Ron<br>

<div>I'll keep looking. I think that we shouldn't forget cleaner
fuel recipes as part of the solution.

I did some searching around on the internet several
years ago on this topic.<br>
I'd like to try torrefied stuff as well, but I struck
out at that time.<br>
No idea where to find them.<br>
The main advantage that I picked up on at that time
was that they should be relatively inert as to picking
up extra water after they were pelletized.<br>
Cleaner burning than what?<br>
clean burning is a control issue, not a fuel issue as
far as I understand. If I understand the concept
correctly, it's like using part of the large molecules
initially broken out (cracked) by the heat in the
reaction vessel to coat the surfaces of the remaining
unpyrolized material. This should burn quite okay in a
TLUD.<br>
