[Gasification] Straw Fueled CHP

[Greg Manning]

Greetings Doug and list,

I hope all is as well as can be as we all age like fine wine.

In the interest of the original post about straw gasification, I am going
to attempt a sample run in my latest unit out of curiosity, I think going
the route of cubed wheat straw would be the way to go, what are your
thoughts on this ?
