Sawdust Burning Boiler

Jebatty posted this link in another thread, but I think it deserves some more scrutiny and discussion.

Obviously, this is targeted at the owners of WoodMizers and other portable (and not-so-portable) sawmills. Pretty neat idea, I think. But it sounds to me as though they realize that they need to expand the market beyond that group, so there's a lot of discussion about converting solid woody biomass into dust. That's a bit more complicated than just shoveling sawdust into a hopper, but it's an idea that has merit, especially for people with a lot of old lumber or brush to get rid of, not to mention ag residue, etc.

But the inability to burn anything bigger than sawdust ("BioDust") also limits its appeal, I think.

What do you guys think?

Welcome to the Boiler Room, Seppi. That was quick! I hope you'll stick around and give us a first-hand account of how it goes and what's involved. As you may have noticed, we have a pretty good base of accumulated knowledge and experience here in the Boiler Room where hydronic heating systems are concerned, so I hope we can help out in the setup.

Pook: I thought about you when I saw that link. Why don't you give us some detail about what's involved in storing and burning sawdust?
