Thunderr1 Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Lifted some cedar dust tonight. Need to screen it to make sure only dust next time. I am curious if this was the BP making all the flame or the dust. Either way I have an endless supply of it and going to make some charcoal from it. http://youtu.be/pNLf_wAeDCw Edited December 4, 2011 by Thunderr1
stckmndn Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 That would be interesting to see bursting in the air. That looked pretty cool.
warthog Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 That looks nicer than cremora IMO! Nicer color at least. Would be great to see a 5 gal bucket size air burst to compare it to the way cremora burns when treated similarly. It will be good to hear hows the charcoal turns out as well, looks like it would make a fantastic tiger tail. I would give that a try before I would make BP with the stuff but with a large supply no doubt you can do both.
Blackthumb Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Cedar dust holds many secrets...been using it for long time to double my BP for use in small rockets. Well dried airborne dust is quite flammable. Leaves a good 'tail' in my rockets.......have a limitless supply. Filled 4 bobcat scoops this summer on one sawmill event....
allrocketspsl Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 anyone selling cedar dust seems it has resin in it to give nice tails like bt has said
Blackthumb Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Dried birch bark is also highly flammable...should make interesting 'dust'........may try and report...
warthog Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 I can sell cedar dustamazing, isn't it. I need to see about finding some of the stuff myself.

Thunderr1 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 Yup, gonna pickup a big ol barrel. Need to get lots of BP made up.
allrocketspsl Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I can sell cedar dust so do you charcoal the dust or just ad to the comp your using?ratios?If so Im interested in buying
VintageRacer Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 I'm also a fan of Cedar. My first use was from purchased Cedar balusters from HD. As much as I hate purchasing lumber to cut and burn, it told me what I wanted to know. I have since picked up a bale-bag of both Pine and Cedar pet bedding at the local Kmart store. This is flakes and doesn't give you a lot of charcoal material per cooked batch, but it might make obtaining some easier for some people. If you have any quantity and have the time to do it, I say bag it and sell it. DanB
