Dear Nat How are you finding it, burning oily things?
I was just testing Baganuur Coal (from the Baganuur mine) and it had quite a high oil content with a fairly long chain. It was clear that it takes a longer physical space to fully break down the molecules. Trying to burn it in a traditional stove but lit at the chimney end was better than traditional procedures, however it burned very well when held in a confined (2 inch diameter) gas path for about 2 feet. Palm nut waste should be in that category of needing time, temperature and turbulence but with an emphasis on time. Have you also found this? I can characterise the difference between high and low oil coal as the hydrogen rich(er) low oil coal (young lignite) needed about half the length of burn as the oilier hydrocarbon rich(er) coal (also young lignite).
