Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi i just dried 15 g og charcoal after drying it was 14 gram. Is it safe to dry charcoal in the oven? Also i want to dry my kno3 just to be sure it is dry. Ive seen ppl dry kno3 in the stove but im not sure with the charcoal.

Electric crockpot/slow cooker is a good, cheap option. I can get away with dextrin in the oven but the wife would skin me alive if i put charcoal in there ;)

Go to a yard sale and get one for around 2 bucks. I cant figure how this wet chem keeps coming up. Its damp as hell here and i am not having any problem. I put my chems in a plastic or garbage bag and then put in a bucket with a lid on it.

Storage with humidity influencing the water content of the charcoal.
