-- My understanding is that at 400c you would get many more bio-oils and
resins staying in the char
This may hep promote critter/wee beastie growth.

 At higher temps 550 + you will get changes depending on what you use.
For example, I think chook manure has more available calcium when cooked at
higher temps.(Which is strange is it not?)

Very high temps700 + air/water and you are starting to get activated
charcoal with a higher water/chemical holding capacity.

I think many of these issues will be kicked around at the upcoming Terrigal
Beach conference.
