    In a nut shell w/o getting to technical....

    Complete combustion is the process of burning a given fuel at ideal levels to extract the best possible fuel to Oxygen ratio without creating excess CO, O2 Co2 and water vapor, which I forgot the Chem term. Too much Oxy, it will burn hotter than necessary, not enough will cause excessive CO which can cause MAJOR problems. Bacharach.com has some nice reading material tha I think will tweek your interest.

    Hpoe this helped.

    why am I not surprised that this is excellent? Thanks for posting it.

    I remember when I first heard of Testo, I thought "Testo?... what kind of hokey stuff is that?... sounds like Rancho Relaxo or something."

    Shows you what I know...

    I own a Testo now.
