those arent his horses mind you, right AT?

That horse should get a raise

That was pretty damn cool.

Fuck yes. I'm working in a mold at the moment. Apparently, you can mix horse shit and water, put it in a mold, and make logs for the woodstove that burn as long as wood, with a BTU output almost the same as our silver maples.

no smell actually, you let it cure for a long time and it goes away. Indians burned buffalo shit for eons.

Did sitting-shit-stains teach you that?

Everything I've read agrees with MT- no smell, and very little ash.

I've burned cow patties while I was camping, I'd say overall they're pretty damned efficient. no smoke, pretty hot and no wasted fuel (ash). I bet they'd be even better when cured. good idea to press all the horse shit into burnable logs

secondary thought: I bet in a woodstove, you'd never have to clean the flue again, bonus points.

Yeah horse shit doesn't even really smell that bad fresh. I mean its grass that went thru a horses ass.

Too bad it doesn't have any smoke, could run it through the UDS.

It really doesn't stink much.

We've had cows and horses on our farm my whole life. My me and brother and sister used to throw dried cow shit at each other all the time. My grandmother was director of children's Sunday school at our church and she put on a big Easter egg hunt out there one year. Me and my brother and a few other kids started throwing cow shit at each other and it erupts into over 100 kids either crying and/or throwing cow patties at each other. Got my ass whipped pretty good over that.

I see what you did there

Or just buy a wood splitter and not worry about feed, pasture, barns, fences, shoes, vets for the horses.

Did that and still do it

well I'm sure AT doesn't put all that work into the horses JUST to have the horse shit, but having a burnable byproduct for all the horse shit that he goes through putting up with horses is nice.

Well, until my wife changes her tune, the horses are here to stay. I may as well come up with something to do with them (or at least their byproducts) until the day comes when I can eat them.

Might be something fun for pioneer weekend...

Starve them for a week before hand, then tell then it's the horses or nothing while working the piss out of then!

She might crack if you make sure to take away all of her outs...
