   It isn't really economically possible to compress it for storage,
and as far as using it for cooking is concerned, have you considered
the safety aspects of that? Producer gas is pretty deadly stuff. You
would need some very good CO monitors at the very least, but I really
don't think I'd ever consider piping it into my house at all.
    Read about all the people that died from it back in WWII when
their vehicle gasifier got leaky.
