			**It could also be used as an approximation for [[Wood Gas]] however due to [[Tars]] and gaseous components other than [[Carbon Monoxide]] or [[Hydrogen]], as well as variations between different wood feedstocks this is complicated compared to [[Charcoal]] which short of [[Ash Content]] should be mostly standard
			**Furthermore if using [[Ultra Pure Charcoal Fuel]] there should be ''nothing'' other than [[Hydrogen]] and/or [[Carbon Monoxide]] short of trace amounts of ash etc
