[Stoves] Experiment anyone?

Dear Frank

Some trees (and bark) have a lot of salts in them which snuff flames when
they burn (little particles visible under a microscope). Hardwoods from the
lowveld in Southern Africa are great for cooking because they make little
flame and lots of coals, for this reason.  My first suspicion is that if a
wood does not burn it has high levels of salts of this type.

Coal can have quite a bit of salt too.

Regards
Crispin
