[Gasification] Methods of Paper Fireballing

[Jeff Davis]

Hi Mike,

At this time paper fireballs only work with newspaper, not other types of junk 
mail.

I have no way to test the emissions from gasifing this fuel so I can't answer 
this part of your question.

I wear gloves when handling the paper so that no ink gets on my hands. The 
water used to make the fireballs gets recycled so this water shouldn't be a 
problem.

During drying the water from the wet fireballs evaporates in to the atmosphere 
and I have no way to test if any of the ink could fallow.
