So chicken, our posts are just a bunch of blah, blah to you? No offense intended, none taken Eeker

We get lots of people asking the same questions over and over and over...but we have a great group here that jumps in and tries to be helpful. If all the old users will bear with us repeating ourselves, we'll try to explain. Just sometimes the answer is right there in the Search Option.

Thanks Dave for posting those links.

Oh, and Chicken...blah, blah, blah Big Grin
no seriously, I read those posts, learned about the nitrates and oxides causeing the reaction and so forth to make the ring from the heat source and not the wood....however, .I still dont understand what makes our heat source different than others if we maintain the same slow and low temp?

Ah, Grasshopper, I see potential confusion...

Nope you've got it backward. The wood not the heat creates it. Don't know about "oxides" causing it, but I do know about Nitrates/Nitrites doing the work.

The difference is that it's not Heat that creates nitrates/nitrites. Electricity burning a heating element creates none of that. Proof? That's why a Cs doesn't create a SR.

What does? Go to the first link above.

Wood/Charcoal and other artificial sources will work their magic.

That's why putting in a piece of charcoal works better than just a piece of wood. Oz for Oz it will put out more Nitrites than wood, until wood hits the charcoal stage (but then it's smaller)
