- Had a "traditional campfire" last night
- Consisted Mainly Of:
- RDF (paper and "dryer lint" as starters) (small overall, not measured)
- Forestry Residues ( Southern Pine pinecones, "twigs" , and dropped ~3cm or so branches
- Crape Murtle pruning branches (still very "green" so lots of sap/smoke/steam)
- This was run until there was only a near homgoenous (due to stirring in the "final stage") Bottom Ash (Powder) + Charcoal (~1cm chunks + smaller dust) mixture
- The following day ~5 spoonfuls of the mixture was added to 500ml of tap water (was massed as well (on a kitchen scale in grams (1 or 2 decimals), grab data from photos) ) so nothing TOO scientific, but should get some datat
- Solution Seemed Saturated, but pending further analysis
- The tap water's PH was testing using an (old...) aquarium PH Tester kit.
- This utilized a (sodium bromate?, grab the name) liquid that was added in "three drops" to 5ml of the sample (double check data)
- The resulting color change after mixing was measured utilizing a chart, and a digital phone camera (various exposures, and a flash exposure) (not in RAW, but proprietary apple format, may want to try a version in RAW with better light?)
- That is where i am as of now
