Kelly: Are you looking for alternative crops to grow. Go to your favourite search engine and type in Switchgrass. I've looked at this a bit several times in as many years. They are claiming it returns more heating energy per input dollar than any other fuel crop. Seems like most of it is being grown in Iowa and Eastern Ontario.

I also knew a guy that built burner to burn whole round bales. It is an upright cylinder, the size of a round bale, and 4 bales high. It is a continuous flow device and it is loaded from the top and burning is a controled burn in the bottom of this tower. I saw this once and my understanding was this operated as a liquid bed gassifier. The builder has since died, I understand his family still operate this structure. I'm having trouble making contact with anyone familiar with this device. All the old guys I knew that worked there have since died. I did get through to a young guy that worked there a few years back, about all he knew, it made smoke and heat. Then his job was operating the round baler.
