See below the monster that my taxes help create making pellets from grass and hay. in 2011 lots of fat liberal girls were running around the Warwick expo proclaiming how we can make pellets from grass. Why am I bitter? Well now Orange County claims they are in financial trouble. So in 2012 this monster did nothing and now it is parked in the rain down the road, rusting out. Why no pellets? Well the grass stuff burns like damp toilet paper and stinks. The bimbos have returned home to sexting on their IPhones and we are stuck with the bill (only girls were manning the booth and making the pellets that no one wants). Can anybody think of a use for this thing.
I wanted to take this photo with me in the foreground with my coal T shirt but Shelley told me to grow up. Of course, if the machine was used to make coal pellets the stoops would have blocked the road and everybody would have asked to see the permits for road travel.
Got coal.

Quite a difference from the carnival atmosphere of the first posts you made about this.

I wonder how many fossil fuel BTU's the greenies have to use to make a ton of these pellets.
Does it take more than 24,000,000 BTU's of fossil fuel to mine 2000 lbs of anthracite?

If they ever make pot legal in your state you'll be set up quickly for a pot pellet operation
Other than that I don't know what you'd do with that contraption

Think of the money you could make to buy more stoves CN
Pretty soon NY will follow suit with Colorado, that might be an idea, lol!

Saw a video a short time ago of a landscaper/lawn mower guy that runs his mowers on grass clippings.

OK Sting, I'll go with some early Rush.
No matter what music it was, it had to have the sound travel from side to side in the headphones.
Always gave me a good time. Damn I could spark one up about now if I had some. But I don't know if the fingers can still roll them or not. Probably would need to use a pipe.
Anyone remember the old "power hitter" ??

I wonder if it could make wood pellets? I think it takes heat to fuse sawdust into pellets.
I bet the best use for it would be to make animal feed.

Of course, in tech school machine shop kids would use a bunch of oil to create a smoke shield and then do hits without getting snagged. I also saw a senior "not" graduate with his class after getting busted making a Bowl in shop, a week before GraduationRick 386 wrote:OK Sting, I'll go with some early Rush.

Interesting enough my ruse that the ornate brass cabinet handles I was known to make arose no suspicion .

When I was in trade school I got caught drilling a 1/4" rod to make a stem and I said it was a cable guide for a throttle. It worked but, it was the last time I made a cable guide.

The heat necessary is self generated by the machine action and the wood fibers themselves being pressed.carlherrnstein wrote:I wonder if it could make wood pellets? I think it takes heat to fuse sawdust into pellets.

This is coal dust to pellets
