[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Frank

First I want to say I agree you are approaching this correctly.  Second, can
you perhaps do a few tests on similar fuels at different particle sizes and
the same/various air velocities?

Thanks
Crispin very interested in the numbers...

Tom and stovers,

It seems there is a lot more to do with different 'small' fuels 
regarding packing and air flow that make the conditions right for 
combustion.   Then we add carbon density of the fuel particle and 
surface area and it would seem we could come up with some basic 
requirements for small fuel.

We receive a lot of potential fuels from across the country for testing 
for potential compost feedstocks and fuel waste products and are in the 
process of getting equipment that can be used in the testing. Problem is 
time and money if I am to do this on company time.
