Tom (and others), please teach me about burning biomass trash in a gasifier
without processing it into briquettes or pellets.
Tell me about how much to load and how compact it can be and the sizes of
pieces of fuel and if they can (or should) be mixed.
I have burned some locust tree pods and litter, and also some misc chopped
stuff from my city shreader.
I am willing to dry future fuel with the excess heat that escapes above my
Juntos stove cooking area.
And does anyone have info on making "pellets" from sawdust. What I can buy
(pellet-stove fuel) is great, but some suitable locally-made pellets would
be nice to have. Sizes of half-centimeter to 2 centimeters diameters would
be great. Length is not important as long as it is not too short.
