Yes thats why l wonder. Here there are a lot of oak trees and l spend some time each year picking acorns for my pigs. They give their fat a special taste. Anyway, it takes a long time to pick a basket and l cant imagine geting enaugh for a gasifier.

Hi Kistijan:
Nice to hear from you.
My neighbors rack them out from under the trees. They give it to me in bags mixed with leaves. Then I separate the acorns from the leaves with the the next “very sophisticated system”:
Also I use olives pits, the olive companies that sells pit-less olives give it to me for free.
The thing here is that the pits needs to be inside VERY DRY at sun, so when I carbonized, it remains very little tar. If the pits looks dry outside, but remains humid/wet inside, the carbonized process will no be optimum.

When the discussion about pellets came up I wondered about fruit pits. I have burned cherry pits in my stove. They burn hotter than wood. They don’t give them away though. People make heating pads out of them and put them in a micro wave to warm them. The hold heat a long time. I would think olive pits would be very similar.

Hi Dave:
Thanks for your suggestion!
First I need to finish with my Spanish videos which I am uploading to my Spanish Facebook: “Autoabasura autoabasura”. (Drive on waste in Spanish).
Then I will put English audios to it.
Then I will learn how to upload my videos to YouTube.
Finally I will upload that English videos here.
Baby steps. Slowly but surly I may get there.

Hi Tom:
I think that cherry pits are better to keep them as it is. No pellets, because it has the right size for charcoal gasifiers.

Thanks SteveB.
Very good presentation EddyR.
All this translates very well into English. And I’d assume French, Italian, Swedish, Finnish, Czech, Slovenian, Ukrainian, etc.
On the lower YouTube tool bar enable “CC”.
Open up the gear shaped tool. Click onto (auto-generate)
Next select Auto Translate. On the DOW for me this pops me up into the topics stream. Scroll back down.
Select your to be CC’ed language.

Eddy, I loved one subtle word you said in the video. Gasura= Gas + Basura. One of the funny things I like about the Spanish language. Very clever term. I also loved your whole presentation.
Have you ever had any soot issues at the carburetor that would require cleaning?

Hi Cody:
At the beginning, when I had no experience carbonizing different wastes I had a lot of different stuff. In example when I used poorly carbonized olive pits, my carburetor was completely pluged with “mayonnaise”.
Now knowing how to proper carbonize and with a proper filtering system I get nothing at all in the carburetor.

I really want to hear what’s being said. I did all the things SteveU said about 10 times and still never got it in English.

Tom,
I had some trouble, too. I just did this and it worked:
Click on CC, then click on the gear icon, click subtitles, then auto-translate, scroll through and click on the desired language, then it should work—I hope.

It will be somewhat close, if they didn’t write the CC into the video then it has to transliterate the audible Spanish to CC and then translate that to English.

Yes, the CC’s were rather crude is some places, but it was helpful for an English only speaking person.

Finally went to You-tube to watch and it worked until the first ad break and then I couldn’t get it back. I’m not good with technology.
