[Stoves] Paper on fire-break wood and its use as a domestic fuel (2008)

[Philip Lloyd]

The problem is the transport of the free wood. It is the forestry problem -
about half the biomass is wasted because a) it is high volume, low mass and
b) its areal density is low and c) getting transport to it is a problem. The
CCHRC has the additional problem that the cold climate trees tend to be
small diameter, so the trees themselves don't make for useful timber.

Dear Friends

What can we do with free wood created by making fire-breaks?

Abstract
The Cold Climate Housing Research Center (CCHRC) has researched the topic of
residential scale wood energy including fuel sources, available technology
and its proper use, regulations, particulate emissions, efficiency and
economics. A description of the projects, a technology review and results of
CCHRC lab tests of wood-fired devices are described in this report.

Tested in a wood gasifier (in Portland). Maybe Tom M was doing this...!
