Hey. Quite interesting. I did not know that could be done. A bunch of work for little return though.

yea! did you count the bags of charcoal????? a bag of charcoal here at the moment costs $28 au a bag!that experiment must have cost $200 au at least for little return.

For sure. Even if you made the charcoal yourself, it would be free, but add that to your work load.
