Bout ready to take the plunge into home made powder.
I have read a bunch on this as well as gleaning info from several you tube video's from sources I trust.
One thing that seems to be the variable in the recipe is the charcoal.
I have not read about this particular wood being used to retort into charcoal and wanted to pick brains as to the why not.
Wood in question is WESTERN RED ALDER.
The other wood I wonder about is WESTERN VINE MAPLE.
Has any one experimented with either of these woods for their charcoal?
I also have access to wild western willow which I wonder how it stacks up for the fastest powder.
Thanks all for what I figure will be a plethora of answers and suggestions.
