Liquid oxygen—abbreviated LOx, LOX or Lox in the aerospace, submarine and gas industries—is the liquid form of elemental oxygen.It was used as the oxidizer in the first liquid-fueled rocket invented in 1926 by Robert H. Goddard an application which has continued to the present.

I can understand aerospace and gas industries, but what application in submarines?

Okay, so do I understand that the LOX is released back into the gaseous phase into the airplane cabin?

I tried Stove Chow in the Lopi Pioneer in the shop. They lit quickly and made a high flame. Completely the opposite of the Harman P43 at home.
To everyone in this thread using various crap liquids, gels, sawdust, etc. to start their pellet stoves-- the absolute best and easiest way is with a propane torch directed to one spot of the pellets in the burn pot for aprox. 20 seconds.

Sounds like a winner, suspect better than my just leaving a teaspoon of ash in the pot. So, I'm starting to save sawdust. So, the sawdust goes in at the moment of turning it on, rather than waiting for the feed to start introducing pellets? Or "some pellets on top" means seed the burnpot with sawdust and pellets before turning the stove on?
I've been enjoying ignition in the 5.5 to 8 minute range in recent months, except immediately after the weekly light cleaning, which pushes ignition out to over 10 minutes. In both instances, would not might faster ignition, looking forward to trying it -- well, not tonight, today's high here is supposed to be 73F so I doubt I'll use the stove.

Right after a cleaning with the burnpot clean and empty, dump a handful sawdust in with a layer of pellets over it, I then start up the stove. The layer of pellets on the sawdust helps prevent the sawdust from blowing out as it gets pushed up where the air vent holes are.
Stove Chow saga continues. Got another 1/2 ton from Home Depot. These pellets are a lot smaller than previous, which were not big. Tried self lighting with no assistance from saw dust or gel, and it lit in 10 minutes. Hurray! We can use use Room Temp again.

If your stove takes 10 minutes to light, you might pull the igniter out and make sure the fins aren’t full of ash.

I've found that giving the side of the burnpot a few good hard taps with the scraper tool seems to help speed up ignition on the premise it shakes the ash off the ignitor.
In between thorough cleanings, I stick my fingers underneath the burn pot and pull out the ash. I'll try tapping next time. Just got a 1 inch paint brush. I'll try that too.

Today's test: 14 minutes until smoke, 15 minutes to ignition. Slowest light-off I've had in a while. But that's only after one test, will try again after next cleaning.
