Guys, I finaly managed to make suitable lift powder using White Ash as charcoal.

Its awesome fast. Only 5 grams lifts a 3" shell to a perfect altitude. Without confinement.

Well done!

I would say that the first sample in the video was noticeably slower and less powerful than any of the others.
Even when I'm wrong, I'm convincing.

I got the wood from a guy who sells wood for wood stoves. He has much more woods which are interesting to test.

Like linden wood. Its a very common tree here. And they grow very fast.

I will go do some more research and tests. I think I will make a nice charcoal table with all kind of woods he has there. Doing the test exacly as I did with the others.

Lift a dummy shell, and then note the ammount of bp needed to lift it too a proper altitude.

Damm, I love this hobby. So much stuff to get exciting about ;)
