[Stoves] [Jatropha cake properties]

[CHRISTA ROTH]

as Paul replied in the meantime: you need a binder to prevent that  
stuff from loosing whatever shape you were trying to give it, thus  
crumbling and blocking all the air passage in your burner. I would  
guess in terms of proportion, that it would rather be an oily additive  
to a special briquette, e.g. for a fire starter, than the major  
component of a briquette with a small percentage of binder.
though  I learned from  'Mr holey briquette' Richard Stanley, how  
paper pieces do wonders in briquette-blends, even in small quantities.

but then again: where do you have j-seedcake and paper available in  
abundance at the same place? don't know. maybe somebody has access to  
the materials and can try it. I don't.
