Test HK-J04
January 12/08
Hard maple, medium pieces, 16% moisture, 56.2 lbs
8 pieces, 3 lbs kindling
Cold fuel. Warm heater (24 hrs)
Animation, 2 minute intervals.
Flue gas
At 15 minutes, the pile rolls forward towards the glass.
At 31 minutes, the pile is poked to get the wood off the glass and towards the back of the firebox. This causes both
CO and opacity to spike
At 53 minutes, a leak is discovered because of a loose cover on the Condar probe filter cover. This makes the gas results
from 0 to 53 minutes invalid. In the Condar spreadsheet calculation, below, the gas values from run HK-H20 were pasted
in from 0 to 53 minutes, in order to be able to arrive at an approximate g/kg PM number off the filter.
The CO and efficiency results are not valid, because they don't account for the CO spike at 31 minutes.

Results are estimates, due to a gas leak (see discussion after gas curves, above)
