Heating

[gensetsteve]

I've wondered this too. A normal wood burning stove burns at a certain temperature. However, a wood gasification boiler burns at up to 1200 degrees centigrade (I believe) - this is the same temperature that a commercial incinerator burns at which gets rid of all pollutants (or at least deposits it over Rotherham if the reports in the Sheffield newspapers are true).

 

Now, I'm not sure what the firebox temperature is in a gasification boiler and whether that would allow the odd offcut of stuff like decking to be mixed with wood from tree surgery. Having just finished my decking in my garden, I have a few kilos of offcuts to get rid of - so long as they won't cause more damage to the environment throwing in a gasification boiler rather than burying in a landfill site, I may as well produce a little hot water with them.

I cant remember what temp you need to burn of the preservative its either 600 or 1000 deg c . Decking is very high on Tanilith because its treated twice and at a higher pressure to make sure it goes well into the wood thats why its so green in colour. I think Rotherham will be ok the highest concentration will be in your house and just above your chimney. The wood in your house shopuld be well preserved and your veg plot very green.
