[Stoves] cattle dung

[Anand Karve]

Dear stovers,
India is the world's largest producer of milk. The dairy industry also
produces a huge quantity of cattle dung. Dung cakes are traditionally
used as domestic fuel and also for cremating dead bodies. But they
have the disadvantage of not burning as vigorously as wood. Dung also
has a very high ash content. Can we devise some method of processing
it to increase its fuel value?
Yours
