Re: DIG-L: Fwd: dry coffee from pig manure

["Jim Groman" <jgroman@varec.com>]

There are many diesters being used for this type of application, and I think
you could get away with a fairly low initial investment.  How much manure do
your pigs produce (or alternately, how many pigs do you have?)  That will
help answer your question on how much heat you can produce.
