I think alder buckthorn is the gunpowder charcoal species not alder

I think it was  used for fuses, there wouldn't have been enough for general use. Alder is probably good  because it can be ground to a specific grain size and this would affect how the mixture burnt.

 

Moisture is all driven off before pyrolysis starts unless you have very big wet logs.
