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. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regards</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Frank</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
