If you want to read some of Larry's work, just go to the "Members" tab and click on it. Then type in "Pletch" and it will take you to his bio. Then click on his topics and it will give you a list of topics that he has posted. You can also send him a personal message by clicking on that tab and asking for his experiment on placement of powder in the pan.
One of his experiments had the powder banked so as to cover the hole but not fill it. In this experiment he compared placing the powder so that it covered the hole, laying flat in the pan and banked away from the hole. In this experiment he found that the powder banked over but not filling the hole was the fastest followed by the powder banked away from the hole and the slowest was with the powder flat in the pan. But I am sure that he did another experiment in which he measured the time with the powder banked up to the hole but not covering it and found that to be the fastest way of all. I am pretty sure about this but you had better ask Larry about that. I've been wrong before......just recently, in fact.
