    Dear Crispin,<br>
    <br>
    The burner is for space heating and therefore in the 10 -20 kW
    range. I think a screw feed mechanism needs wood particles of great
    uniformity. Chopped bits would probably jam and exceed the cranking
    ability of one person.<br>
    I believe all industrial wood burning equipment has a bottom feed -
    top burn system.<br>
    <br>
    Best regards,<br>
    <br>
    Piet<br>
