Condar Spreadsheet Results
Condar Spreadsheet (includes detailed fueling data)
Condar spreadsheet was modified, starting with this run.
The old spreadsheet was set up for gas readings at 5 minute intervals, which were entered
from the TESTO data spreadsheet.
Now, the averages are calculated directly off the TESTO data, at 30 second intervals, instead of 5 minutes.
Fuel stack. Kindling is on the right side, layered with newspaper. Ignition from top of kindling.
Had to be relit from middle.
