Thanks, I'm glad you got something out of it. Yeah, it all depends on your consumption needs. One thing to remember its not quite the same as 2hrs of burn time using LPG or natural gas because it's not pressurised, so the flame does get blown around quite a bit if your using it outside. But yes, it is a good system.

Great work!

Thanks mate!

Thanks! Yep, it'd totally work, good idea. I was just seeing how far I could go without using power. All depends on your setup. Good luck!

Great idea! I've never seen or heard of one here in Australia, but I'll have a look. Thanks!

Thanks Sam!

Thanks ostrich wrestler, and awesome name. That's a good idea, heading into summer I probably won't bother but definitely when it starts to cool down. I was also thinking I should have wrapped the copper supply line around the chimney

Thank you!

Thanks Steven! Neither did I. I'm really glad it worked and I didn't have to buy an expensive battery one. DIY plumbing is very achievable. It makes a big difference on an off grid homestead to be able to do stuff ourselves.

Thanks Jason, not a genius but having fun making an off grid homestead.

Thanks! Certainly more money in it than what I'm currently doing 😅

I couldn't agree more Ian. My only suggestion if your thinking of doing it is to make a better wind break as the flame gets blown around a bit because it's not under pressure.

Thanks!

Hi fresh, no I don't. It would boost gas production no doubt. They sell one with a toilet connected now.

Ah, the joys of living off grid and close to nature. Permaculture and the birds go hand in hand.

Thanks Daniel, Yeah, I think a plastic pallet would be a great idea for the bottom, timber ones might get a bit foul.

Been thinking about it, they now offer a product that is fed directly from a toilet.

They say that grass clippings produce very little biogas but take lots of time and energy to break down and to avoid it.

Thanks uncle rad! Yeah, we've since been making our own compost for the veggie gardens, and soaking it all in the liquid fertiliser to speed things up. You're totally right.

@@cornerstonevalley Hello, I garden with as close to a closed system. My carbon in put is mainly from mushroom substrate as I grow oyster mushroom. Which is my process of fastening of the carbon breakdown process and yes the worms smash it my ferts are MS from JADAM etc. When you said a litre a day A DAY from such little input and you get gas too,BRO! winner winner. OMG dude just thought biochar/charcoal. to activate it you soak it in...could a be revenue stream for you maybe inoculated biochar. The reason people can have a poor first season with biochar is they didnt inoculate it

@@rad7142 That's so cool! Here's how we make our biochar. ruclips.net/video/Sz7IZm5occ4/видео.htmlsi=5TPbggnK28fSn4hW

Thanks reddog! That sounds good, I was just trying to spend as little money as I could for this project. I like the idea of the trickle charger though, so the battery doesn't get cooked.

Thanks! This one does too, but I didn't need it because I ran the hose through the bush from a water tank higher on the hill.

Thanks!

Thanks Debbie, glad it was useful! Goodluck with your biogas plant.

Thank you, they're still going strong in their new location. I'm in the process of splitting the hive now as the current log doesn't have too many years left in it.

Thanks Greg, that's kind of you to say. I've been blessed with great kids.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I'm glad the ad was good, I don't have any control over them yet, but hopefully one day.

The ads suck - don't be tempted to use an ad blocker- they punish you for it. @@cornerstonevalley

No worries, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Steven, you said it, learning learning.

Thanks Jason!

I totally hear you, we were quite nervous about people as well. We set our hip camp up with no automatic bookings and only one group at a time. We never had a bad experience, not sure if it's because of what we did or just good luck, but it made us feel better "choosing" who came onto site. Good luck!

😃

Hi Julz, I'm not sure of the capacity in litres sorry, it might be on their website. Yes, it'll work great on just manure, but it has to be slurry with water before adding. The home biogas website has all the amounts you can feed the system perday.

Totally worth an email to home biogas! I'm not sure, I would have assumed that there would always be some level of sludge buildup in the bottom, but there isn't any easy way to clean it out.

Thanks Steven! Will do

Thanks Jason!

Thanks Teresa, yeah, might be a good option. I'm not sure if restaurants seperate their food scraps, I'd need to be careful of how much oil was in them.

Thanks DC, no I hadn't thought of that actually, we don't have close neighbours, which might the a bit tricky. But yes, we have given the liquid fertiliser away to friends in empty milk bottles.

Hi Tom, thanks, glad you enjoyed it. We got the biogas 2. The full bladder gives about 2.5hrs of burn time. The rate of generation is hard to gauge, depending on temperature. I'm an hr north of Sydney, so it never gets super cold. Also, Ive been using the burner outside, and the flame gets blown around quite a bit because there's very little pressure. So inside would give you better results. Here's what I've been playing with since . ruclips.net/video/W7yNd6ropBY/видео.htmlsi=dTvi_W2tPXvZFVrV Good luck!

why is the rate of generation of the gas so difficult to gauge? etc if you're feeding it the similar amount of food scraps per day/week couldn't you gauge the average amount of gas usage?@@cornerstonevalley etc 1kg of food scraps per every 2nd day and then you get x amount of cooking time

It's takes about two days to completely fill back up at the current rate at warmish weather. A full bladder gives about 2.5hrs of burn time.

Thanks Giovanni, yeah, we have thought about trying to set it up to do that. I'll put up a vid if I ever do.

Glad you enjoyed it James, thanks for the tips! I had thoughts of making a food scrap chipper a while ago, maybe time to revisit the idea

Thanks for the tip! Coincidently, we are planning on doing meat rabbits, never thought about using the carcasses in the biogas.

@@cornerstonevalley I meant rabbit poop. Though the parts you don't eat (skin and viscera) MIGHT work as feedstock. You will feed your rabbits, and they will create copious amounts of waste. It is a simple matter to place a tray under the cages to catch the urine and feces. These trays can be emptied into your digester. And when you process the rabbits for eating, the parts you don't use can go into the digester too. Though having bones in the digestor will mean you have to empty it more often. You might just want to confine yourself to using the viscera in the digester.

@@CCoburn3 ahhh, thanks. That makes sense, thanks for the tips.

@@cornerstonevalley You're welcome. Good luck with the rabbits. (Another tip on the use of rabbits. Since the meat will be almost fat-free, you can dry it and make pemmican -- if you are interested in long-term survival food. It might make a good video. While there are a few videos on making pemmican, they all use beef or venison for the meat. A video on making pemmican with rabbit might get quite a few views.)

Thanks Dan!

No worries! Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Steve, Not sure if I'll repair or go a different route, allowing myself some time to think. Potentially making a slipper for the forklift tynes, better shaped to get under the logs. It'll be great if I can get all the floorboards from the wood

Thanks permiek! Glad you got something out of it. Thanks for the pressure cooker tip! I'll give it a go.

No problems Cdog, glad I could help!

Hope it lived up to expectations 😁

@@cornerstonevalley Always does!

It was an unbranded petrol powered drill with a SDS MAX head. The drill bit was a diameter 38mm by 450mm long. I'm just about to try it again with a 38mm core drill to try and make it a shorter drill time

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
