OldMarine Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 in kolkata (india)which wood is suitable for charcoal... I'd ask BengalFlair.
Arthur Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 The old British saying was "wood that grows near water, from the size of a man's thumb to the size of a man's arm" Does that bring any local trees to mind??
CaverCork Posted August 25 Posted August 25 After all of these years, I can finally report Catalpa makes very fast BP. Testing is limited due to a burn ban, but my mine lift test I always try first, blew most of it blind. Going to have to dial back the amount used as it is a good bit hotter than my black willow. Should make superb nozzleless rocket fuel. I'll try to make further reports after it rains, and hopefully it will not be another 11 years or so. 1
CaverCork Posted Tuesday at 12:24 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:24 AM (edited) So far I've tried the Catalpa BP only on end burners. It has not gone well. The first tries at standard 75:15:10 all CATOed, even with different nozzle diameters. At 70:20:10, all CATOed. At 65:25:10, the CATOes ended, now I'm just getting RUDs at about 10 feet (actually checked the video on the last one and the RUD happened about 5 feet) off the ground. And the 10 feet is achieved quite expeditiously. I'll have to mill a batch of 60:30:10 and see what that does. On another note, pine cones make really poor rocket fuel. Pretty tail though.
