Dear Crispin,
So the CO2 > CO is endothermic. But still needs carbon. As I see it the only difference is the temperature changing as the gases move around the pot. Wondering if the reading could be affected by temperature? Perhaps amount of gas entering the instrument or something? Interesting. Could hydrogen react with one of the oxygen in CO2 making water leaving CO?

It does not happen in stoves with high EA. Crispin Dear Crispin, <snip> I found that directly above the middle of a good stove (under the pot) there is zero CO - I was amazed. But nearer the edges there is more. [Frank >] How is that possible? I thought going from CO2 > CO could only occur be in a bed of char. This is very strange. Regards Frank
