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

- it states that the best carbons are lignite and rough shaped.
- second best carbons are bituminous
- 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.

Thanks Again Franklin for organizing the buy. The Carbon looks very interesting

Yes thanks Franklin for the carbon.
