It is just a test procedure that needs modification FOR THE PURPOSE of what we want to interpret the results. It is the only test I have seen where we start with the FUEL and end with a completed COOKING TASK. Starting with the fuel and ending with a completed task is a MUST. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Frank<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jan 27, 2017, at 9:33 AM, Traveller <<a href="mailto:miata98@gmail.com" class="">miata98@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Frank: <br class=""><br class="">Thank you.

I believe its the preparation of the gases before entering the secondary thats most important and thinking we might be able to make adjustments if we can learn the mix that burned hot and clean. I’m thinking the helium surrogate thats bled in with the primary air at a very controlled and constant rate will be very useful when monitoring the gases entering the secondary. I’m sure someone must have tried this. Perhaps Tom Reed or Jim Jetter?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Frank </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><div class="">
