I know we have a few chemists here, does anyone know the evaporation
point for ammonia?


-28 degrees F.


The more important question is the rate of reaction of the ammonia with
your wood. Generally speaking chemical reactions are slowed by *about*
a factor of 2 per 10 degrees Celsius. So your instincts are correct,
its probably the low temperature that's the problem, not because of the
vapor pressure of the ammonia but because of the slower rate of
reaction with the wood. Wait until you have warmer weather.
