Dear Paul et al., Re., rice hull combustion at the household level; What is dangerous to some is often survival- or at minimum, subsistence to others eh? Rice straw is an excellent binder for the rice hulls and almost anything else that is granular and combustible. But this is hardly a disencentive to burning rice hulls so I do apologise for that part. Richard Stanley www.legacyfound.org
