Default Is there a device for compressing grass cuttings and then extruding them into pellets ???

That can be then dried and used as fuel on a wood buring stove.

I don't mean a big multi thousand pound machine.

Or anybody have any links to pro machines that can give me an idea of
how to make one.

I had even thought about a cider press, to extude all the juices, and
then cut logs from the grass cake.


Interesting concept :~)
I'd imagine that it would need to be dry like straw or hay.

I must have tons of grass cuttings every year, there must be a better
use for them.


Lots of info on the web, but wouldn't find a non-commercial way of making
blocks or pellets...
