More good information, Gus.
The willow wood making the best charcoal rings a bell. I seem to recall reading somewhere that Swiss uses willow. I will have to find time to sort through my "favorites" and "bookmarks" to see if I can find it. Swiss was ranked the best powder way back, and still is considered as such by many today.
Thanks to everyone who is replying. I am learning more about gunpowder, and learning more is most always a good thing. :hatsoff:
