testing



My apologies if this clutters up inboxes- I have sent two messages to the list recently that have not been copied back to me.
 
Ronal, Tom- are you getting 'bounced' messages from my account?
 
This morning I asked the group for advice on the best and least complex way of testing charcoal and raw biomass such as sawdust for moisture content..... what are the standard temperatures and times for ovens and if a microwave can work.
 
Also- and of some urgency- I would like to know if charcoal from different sources- like hardwood VS softwood, rice husk, bagasse and the like emit significantly different amounts of carbon monoxide. Can one type of charcoal be potentially more toxic than another? Also, any comparative info on CO emissions for popular domestic fuels used in developing countries would be appreciated.
 
Thanks;
 
elk
