Hope it shows good results in Jake's new video
 I mentioned I use alder chips although they are not buckthorn alder, some kind of Pacific alder, it still works quite well but it takes time to char it then pulverize it in my mill and it's a rather dirty process.
 If I can get air float charcoal of good quality I'd certainly do that instead.
 I haven't used the skylighter air float stuff  , mostly out of ignorance I suppose.
