Have a look about switchgrass.  It only requires labour for the first planting and then each successive harvest, ie it is perrenial. I heard from a local organic farmer that as such it gives 13 to 1 energy return when used as a fuel.  Maybe a rocket stove ??  Apparently it will grow just about anywhere.

Cheers
Joe

Has anyone researched the using grass as a fuel (i.e. in pellets or blocks)?  If yes, can you please post?

Right... did some searches and found some pellet mills that may be purchased:

Of course, these are just examples. A little more searching may turn up a manual or semi-automated process/design. You figure, rabbit feed is in the same form so that may also be an outlet for pellet producing.
