[Stoves] Chip Guillotine was Re: [Gasification] Wood heating in the UK - whole log gasification

[Paul Anderson]

Doug,     (and I sent this to the Stoves List because fuel preparation 
is of interests to them also.)

I too am quite interested in this.   I saw it some years ago when I did 
not have conditions to proceed.   Now I would like to build one and see 
it put into action.   Any further info and comments on experiences would 
be appreciated.

A major related issue is the feeding of the sticks.   An angled trough 
with gravity helping the flow down to a "stopper" could help.

For straight fuels (such as reeds and non-branching shafts such as 
bamboo and young poplar, pine etc) this could be really a great 
assist.   The gnarly bifurcating branches of many trees present some 
difficulties (and opportunities to find solutions!!).
