I have always had trouble with ashing due to the fact I do not have a fine particle filter system, especially one i can hang over a furnace.
I came up with this idea, works well and I have now incorperated it into my process. Powder to be ashed is placed inside the iron pipe, just put a fluff ball in one end up to the point inside the furnace, powder to be ashed is poured into the other end till filled to the point inside the furnace. Portable filter at one end and aquarium pump blowing air in the other end, once red hot, rotate pipe 180 deg. I have a long iron rod, 8mm diameter, that is used to make sure there is a hole for air to flow. Takes about an hour to one and a half hours till almost no smoke is leaving the pipe
When finished i pull the pipe from the furnace and left to cool, warm, ram rod the ashed product, and with a little help from a hammer, the pipe is hit to release any stubbern bit.
Well that's that :lol:
