Lanny, I would die to have the time to devote to this. I will send some 
switchgrass fireballs to you, although, it will be some time. Dean Still has 
cleaned me out of fireballs (or the post office has). I did not even have the 
time to see if the peat and switchgrass fireballs will burn!

Roger, along with Lanny, would you be interested in testing some switchgrass 
fireballs? We should first let Dean and Paul try to burn some.

Tom, we can make small fireballs!

Also John Tatom and Bhattacharya for the charcoal fireball, McDowell-Wellman 
for Helifuel, early paper makers for retting and in one of my books in the 
1872 era it hints about using a watery soup (for lack of better words) for 
briquetting.


Balls to the wall,

Jeff
