Grass Briquettes
(from left to right ground switchgrass, switchgrass, miscanthus,
alfalfa, straw)
Various
grasses are suitable for use in the Slugger briquetting system,
including but not limited to Switchgrass (shown ground and
briquetted), miscanthus, alfalfa, straw, mixed prairie grasses, reed
canary grass, hay (good or waste) and many others. In the
Slugger system, these grasses all behave similarly. Miscanthus
and alfalfa seem to work particularly well, but with the proper
grind size and moisture level they all will form a good briquette.
Grass briquettes are used for heating or electricity generation, and
can be burned in an increasing number of commercially available
residential and industrial sized heating appliances. Lawn
grass is generally not suitable for briquetting because it is far
too wet and it is thought that there is simply not enough of it in
any given area to make it feasible. "Grass"
dies are used for briquetting these various grasses in the Slugger
system.
