Youīre talking about 13GBP per Kg?!?! Sry thats quite a lot, especially when I compare god willow charcoal to spruce/fir
charcoal, which really gives equal results. I really donīt wanna destroy your biz there, but thats a whole lot of money for 1Kg
of charred wood! :)

Edit: Really donīt take it as an offense! Maybe Iīm plain wrong but you didnīt
name any "amounts" :)

All charcoals are not created nor processed equal.

With all natural based products there are differences in properties leading to differences in properties. Willow based BP is used for power or strength, pine based BP is used for sparkling effects.

I can buy cheap charcoal from the local garage (BBQ lumpwood) It's really cheap but doesn't perform well.

Knowing that, Arthur, thats my black powder made with spruce/fir charcoal: http://pyrobin.com/files/bp_test.wmv :) I just think willow is a bigh myth! There are plenty more available charcoals which give better/equal results...

Anyway, that discussion has nothing to do with this thread. Sorry that I started it, was not my intention!

Yes. Like paulownia.

It's a charm.

AND it makes nice tails.

Pine and pine saps still remain unique with their intense spark creation, however...

A quick update on our "Mr Keten".


Paypal's investigation into my claim has concluded.

As far as I can tell he made no attempt to even try to put up a case against my Paypal claim as Paypal always copies each parties emails both ways in dispute cases.

Paypal found in my favour and is refunding my money.

If the seller's account has insufficient funds to complete the refund owed to you,
please be assured that we will take appropriate action against the seller's account,
which may include limitation of the seller's account
privileges.


I think I will learn from this and not deal with this vendor again.

I`m not sure if This is any use for someone, but it seems to be fairly comprehensive although a little over-priced with one or 2 items.

YT,
I stopped looking over that site when I realised that they list Methamphetamine Hydrochloride and Psuedoephedrine! Also... not cheap!

Thanks for the thought though!

For most of us (and this is a UK forum!) Uk suppliers have fewer shipping problems.

Hahaha,

There is already quite a long thread on sciencemadness about the chemical closet. It looks to be a complete sting, nevertheless those that were brave/stupid enough to place an order with them did indeed recieve there chemicals!

To its defense, everybody said the same things about kno3.com and they were legit (abit stupid). I guess we will find out soon enough if they get raided.

A few things there I would lake to have in my inventory though.
