This summer I tried numerous switchgrass bale PYROMID's with no practical charcoal production but it did make some impressive and scary fires. Personally I would be reluctant to promote this just because of the danger of starting forest fires and what not. > So we really have no excuse for cleaning up TLUD gas if we wish to. As long as we don't place the tar laden charcoal in the soil but use it as a fuel. In other words clean charcoal added into the soil is much better that adding charcoal that was used to filter toxic waste. > Compare to natural gas at 1000 Btu/ scf. Locally the troops have landed and marcellus shale gas is under production. It's been stated that this type of well will last for 30 to 50 years and beneath that even more gas. Already, locally, the price of natural gas has dropped.
