Wood gasification, using peat instead of wood? (Burning the 'smoke'

exactly
But Paddy was right when he objected me that it is not ecological.
Peat-bogs are very special habitats for fauna and flora (i.e.
carnivorous plants) and they need thousands years to regerenate. We
should consider them as fossil carbon preserves (the future oil fields
of Ireland ;-) ) and biodiversity preserves.
I was kidding because I worked in one "turf" extraction plant and the
boss was running a furnace with it. The smell and the smoke were ...
exotic to me. Guinness bier matched well with the smoky taste of the
Irish stew cooked in the furnace.
Good remembers. But also, I was sorry to see how Ireland was spending
it's natural ressources (not only peat, but also chemical pollution or
sea overexploitation).
I hope that the Irish laws on environment protection have been improved,
it's a so nice country.
