[Stoves] Fieballs at Stove Camp

[Tom Miles]

Paul,

Thanks for checking in. 

For some reason when I think of feeding the switchgrass fireballs into the
stove I think of eating popcorn: lot's of light pieces. Maybe they'll be
conducive to a simple feeder of some kind.    

We'll look forward to your tests. 

Tom Miles

Dear Tom and all,

I am still in Idaho, and will not be back in Illinois until about 9
September.

I did not have time to test fire the fireballs.  There was no time slot
available to burn them under the emissions hood, so I am taking them back to
Illinois where I will burn them.  There are actually several types of
fireballs (in both sizes and materials), so there will not be just one
result to be reported.

There is no question about IF the fire balls can burn well in a T-LUD
gasifier. Jeff has already shown that they can burn well.  Questions relate
to the length of the burn-time and the intensity of the heat.

I am thinking of going to Pennsylvania to see Jeff and his operation in late
September, but that is not yet arranged.

Further details when I have tested them.

Paul
