Verify your no-smoke observations with gas samples, and then chk with your (local?) steel industry, my understanding is the steel industry went for mined fossil coal because they ran out of charcoal and wood, centuries back. ..wood charcoal is usually cleaner and more reactive than the fossil coals, and you have a powdery charcoal, so it would be more of interest for at least for the special expensive steel alloy makers, rather than the cheap big bulk makers. ..but I've been wrong before. ;o) > Yours > A.D.Karve -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
