Thanks all. As I mentioned, details coming quite soon. I've been documenting daily since the start of the project, and plan to keep it up.
Dean, do you have any documentation of the blue flames that are "often" seen? I haven't been able to find a photo or paper on it. Many people *searching *for blue flames. Of course, you get blue flames when you are burning charcoal in a wood stove. I saw blue flames both at the beginning and ending phases of the runs, so it's not just char burning that's responsible (which is high CO, as you mention) marc notwandering.com On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 3:54 PM, Dean Still <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Marc, > > Blue flame in natural draft stoves is often seen when burning CO.
