Doing it for the kids

ive been burning raw chip in a batch boiler with utter ease for 3 months, now suddenly I’m getting caps over the bottom duct daily.
The chip is too dry @10% I guess but the fan is right down now so I’m not convinced that’s the root cause.
I have little control of the chip quality, I’m still burning the same batch though. It’s coming from the same teams locally.
I can’t see any rubbish in the sample, there is the odd stone though.
I suspect if I blend the chip with some wetter stuff that may help but I’m puzzled why it’s suddenly got bad. Im getting about 800 kWh (at meter) from 1,8m2
My understanding in clinker is formed at about 1200 degrees. It’s formed from silica which comes from bark and poor quality wood.
Any advice greatfully recieved!
