[Stoves] Fuel Testing

If you did, your stove that worked well in the lab would not be the same at 
all in the field, particularly when it comes to induced air flow, 
temperatures of surfaces and thermal conduction.  That's a  pretty big 
change.

If you were taking the trouble to select your firewood by species, for 
subtle differences in burning characteristics, think how much difference 
removing the water would make!  Far more than choosing Maple over Oak.
