[Stoves] Rice Hull Delight (and the color of flames)

[Paul S. Anderson]

Dear Alexis, (and others),

Again we read (below) about the clean blue flame of gasified rice 
hulls.  Please
enlighten us about the different chemical characteristics of rice husks.

I believe that they do not have much of something (is it low sodium?) 
that gives
so much of the yellow color in the flames of other biomass?

Or is there something else that helps avoid the yellow? or that causes the
yellow in the flames of other biomass?

Paul
