If there is one, I'd be in for a gallon.
Thanks, Chris

- the worse carbons are all pellet shaped.

Based on the product descriptions of the lignite and ROX:
- the lignite being sold is rough shaped
- the ROX is pellet shaped
- the ROX has both lignite and bituminous properties

Does the pricing and product description contradict their effectiveness in the articles?
That was the link I was looking for.

OA used to sell the ROX pellet in bulk. too bad his supplier stops selling it. I found it way more effective that the Black Diamond I'm using today.

PMed

I use the Matrix carbon now. The round shape and higher density makes them work well in a reactor.

That's exactly the reason!

Anyway, it looks like I've got a couple of takers so we'll soon see how well this stuff actually works.
