[Gasification] making pellets -- suggestion from Len Walde 9-2

[Len Walde]

Jeff:

Do you have a gas fired B-B-Q ?  I you have one with a "some-what " 
air-tight  cover, you can do a good drying job by keeping the temperature 
under control.  I use mine to carbonize, (like in charcoal),  biomass for 
some phytoextraction research I am doing.  Of course I get mine up to 550 
deg. F,   but at 200 deg. F  you should have just what you are looking for 
in a dry fireball.  Let me know how it works.

Good luck and have a great holiday!
