Anybody following this thread that decides to build a "Bottle Stove" should be aware that the bottles are the property of the company that supplies them and are not owned by the user.
Secondly and more importantly these bottles MUST BE PURGED before you attempt to cut them or you risk an EXPLOSION!

Which reminds me didn't Richard Hammond, in a Top Gear extravaganza, buy cattle then use their poo to make methane then ran a car on it?

There are plenty of unwanted gas bottles lying about (there were at least 3 lying around barns on the farm here when we came) and scrap men won't take them. |

A few friends have dryed some of our briquettes (10" x 4" x 4") under their log burners, once completely dryed they did burn when added to a hot fire, we're told they extended the life of the wood fire 2 fold and they are asking for more.
All my (limited) spare time is now spent making briquette. | | | |
