Dear Frank You are on the right track, in my view. The assumed energy for the wood and char is a major source of imprecision in the test.
As for quenching with water: unfortunately we need to know the residual moisture content of the fuel 'as removed'. That varies a lot depending on the stove type. Quenching it with nitrogen is an alternative.
