Dear Friends

Further numbers:

The driest 10 % of wood samples taken at neighbourhood care points (NCP's)
from open fire was 7.0% on a Wet Weight Basis.

The middle range of samples ranged from 7.6% to 29.4% with an average level
of 13.88.  I have asked Steve to send us the mean value.

The wettest 10% of samples was 37.0% WWB on average with one sample of
'Umsinsi' weighing in at a hefty 60%.

Regards
Crispin
