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

[Paul Anderson]

Jeff,

I am interested in your efforts.   How can I be of assistance?   I live 
in central Illinois, but will be gone all of January with trips to 
Africa and then to the ETHOS stove meeting in Seattle.

When we have something working satisfactorily, I can have it replicated 
in several countries where we want such fuel processing for TLUD stoves.
