Very helpful - thank you once again. I am trying to secure a reliable source for wood right now. There is a place that produces scrap wood similar to your neighbor that may work out. How long can the charcoal be stored and is there a chance it could absorb moisture and become ruined? Does the conversion to charcoal not only reduce the moisture content but also eliminate materials that could cause fouling in the generator engine? Do the finer partial sizes resulting from the charcoal production process cause a problem if the are placed into the gasifier (is a sorting grate required to separate the "fines" from the "chunks")? Your patience with my questions is greatly appreciated. I've never used a forum before so I don't know the etiquette or protocols.
