I've heard that you get better performance from wood burnering if you 
have an outside source of air for the burning chamber and not use room 
air to burn the fire.

If the Chinese recipe for a lime&paper finish are like the tranditional 
Japanese paper lime finish,  note that the recipe calls for traditional 
paper, which  is comprised of variious fibres. made from thicker and 
stronger natural fiibres.    Charmaine have you tried this out with 
modern fabricaed paper?
