It is light fluffy sawdust that comes from a docking saw as against coarse 
sawdust from a rip saw.

> Also about how thick are the sawdust layers above and below.

It has about 2 inches of sawdust on the bottom and after the cells are put 
in it is filled to the top.  So it probably has another 2 inches above. 
Sawdust is pre heated to around 34 or 35 degrees centigrade.
