What does everyone do with their sawdust?

Sawdust burners are terrific, made one out of a large propane tank last year.

 

Would be ideal for something like a glass house or polytunnel as above, takes a minute or two to get loaded up certainly but then you just leave it.

 

Very good also for a workshop or anywhere just needing a constant background heat.

Are you guys using the barrel style with a former tube to make a central chimney or any other styles in use? Seems pretty perfect if you've got low m/c sawdust.. Have you tried using chip in a burner like that or does it not hold together well enough, maybe a mix?

My sawdust burner I made from 2 x 45 gall drums and an industrial air filter with the paper filter burnt away to leave a mesh cylinder laid on its side which I fill with sawdust. Light at the front and it will burn its way through to the back. The mesh acting like a davy lamp.

 

Will burn chip just as good as sawdust.

Sorry dont do pics anymore since I found out location is encrypted in photo. Got to much equipment to lose.

My stove is similar in design to this one.

 

 

But instead of the grate is the industrial air filter resting on 6 bricks.

There is a setting in iPhone/pad to switch location tagging off, I'm sure android will have similar.

Sawdust stoves are great. I use one to heat my green house in the spring when I produce the seedlings for my garden. They give good heat for a long period and burn sawdust and chips and I even use to mix some wood pieces to keep for a longer time when needed.

I had a borrowed smaller stove but i intend to make one from a 200 L barrow. I use any kind of sawdust but the hardwood is better.

Easy enough to delete all that data, stored in EXIF.

Lots of applications to do it for you or it can be done manually .. also set your device not to record it in the first place.
