[Stoves] Pressed biofuel - and Fire balls. Testing

[frank]

Dear Crispin,

Thanks for the encouragement   The numbers are not so meaningful until I 
can get the procedure down the way I want it and is approved by others 
(no secrets in chemistry). Then I need to do a lot of testing of 
different biomass materials. Then see if they relate to burn.  Then work 
with packing void space and optimum air flow. Something like that.

Frank
