[Stoves] {briquetting} Anticipation of fuels; Another interpretation

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Jeff

Have you got an old empty fuel tank?

Alex English has a huge tank that he can drop whole round bales into from
above (to burn them). It could just as well be used to make charcoal from
anything you put in.

And don't your weed seeds get screened out when harvesting? They could all
be charred to good effect.

Regards
Crispin

Dear Ron,


Well, that doesn't mean I know anything about fire-corn....

In regards to charcoal dust combustion:
When one can skip a step it's a beautiful thing. Of course there would
always be room for a charcoal fireball gas producer fuel unless MR. T.
Miles bellies up to the keyboard with a cyclonic/bubbling-bed/vortex gas
producer scheme to fuel our IC engines.....

I have thought about burning weed charcoal dust in a vortex type burner.
I plan to try DR. Tom's pyramid scheme on some weed bales this summer, if
time permits. If this produces charcoal it would be nice to do this in the
field then suck it up with a blower feeding a cyclone filter filling the
transport hopper.
