Alex -

    Any idea what the virus was?   (I haven't heard that "kak" impacted
files - and sure hope I wan't involved in your loss.

    Are you taking precautions now with good virus detectors?

    On the measurements -  I'm very surprised that CO2 was that high.  I'll
try to get back to making that measurement - but believe I had much less in
the one measurement I made a while back.  I remember AJH suggesting that he
expected a reaction between C and CO2 to give CO.  Could there have been
some reason that you were not experiencing that reaction?

    What weight  % carbon or charcoal were you obtaining?   Do you agree
that you generally would not want that much CO2 in a charcoal-making,
top-down stove?

    Anybody else have this measurment?

Ron
