There seems to be some possible method of setting a feed system on thermostat, so when the burning temp fall below a given point the system kicks in to action.

I'd think so too.  As long as it stayed cold there shouldn't be a problem, ie. the fire never went out.  Ignition from a cold start would take some thinking or planning ahead.  Maybe fire it once a day and run on backup once it went out?

 EXACTO  laugh laugh laugh

  I just can't believe the rig Kirk has, can't be modified. I think that WET sawdust was the big drawback with WM, and the Engineers. Electronical, I'm not, so controls would need to be laid out by someone smarter than me  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

The problem was more on the issue of safety.  I had melted wires around the blower.  I am sure it could be modified I just dont think I want to mess with it. 

Some folks tried wet sawdust, contrary to what they were instructed to do then complained when it didnt work. My system worked great with ALL the fuels I tried and I had even found some super fuels that had tons of potential. 

Maybe when the econmomy turns around (not going to happen in my life time) they can try again.
