sawdust firing effects

I have been doing a lot of sawdust firing lately amd am curious what others
add to the firing and what results are obtained. I find lists in the archives
and in a sawdust firing book (Hessenberg) that I have, but not what the
effects are, except for oxides. Are the results variable, so not defined? I
tried orange peels and banana peels and didn't notice anything.
What about seaweed? Do you find color changes, flashing, both?
I am curious about what colors can be obtained, and what's used for flashing.
Thanks.
