We are working in woodier material with 50% mc wwb and burning
November to April.

The target was 0.5 ha/day in a sinuous 2.4 metre swath but we only
ever got to make a 1/2 dimension device and seldom bettered 100 linear
metres an hour. We needed better heat feedback and that is why we
wanted to increase draught, to entrain offgas, and recoup heat from
the flue.
