Testo gas graph, entire cyle
Burn was ended at 3 hours with coals still in the firebox. Note O2 jump at end of graph.
Opacity graph.
Very large soot spike upon lighting 4 lbs of poplar kindling at top of pile. The Condar filter was plugged at 27 minutes.
The Condar was left running at full power, the filter was not exchanged. Therefore actual PM value would be slightly higher,
judging from the opacity graph. Filter was surprisingly light, indicating pure soot with no volatiles.
Fuel load.
Stacked in firebox
Burn sequence
Note the smoke coming from the front of the pile. It does not really show up on the
opacity graph.
