straw briquettes



I've had some experience with straw briquette 'logs' here. About 10 years ago I was processing Nile Perch filleting waste to fishmeal & used compressed straw logs as a fuel for clarifying fish oil by-product (to be used as boiler fuel).
 
Though hard and dense- with an attractive glaze to the surface- these logs could in no way be compared favourably with wood as a fuel. They expanded upon burning and created much smoke, little flame and a lot of ash.
 
All biomass is not equal when it comes to it's value as fuel.
