Rajan and all,
You raise a good question, but I respectfully disagree. And I quickly
add that only with testing equipment will this question be resolved.
I think that PM measurements are of very fine particles that cannot be
seen. And that any increase in PM from having very very dry fuels
relates more to the much larger particles that might be noticed, but
which do not contribute to health problems.
Can APROECHO or CREEC or others with equipment step in and help answer
this question?

Dear All,
I have a feeling that oven-dried biomass if used in a TLUD stove can
lead to higher "particulate matter" emissions from the stove - which
can be a health hazard.
So, probably a moisture content of around 10 to 15 % ( not more ) in
the fuel has a positive role to play.
The best sun-drying may be giving us this moisture content.
Regards,
Rajan
