[Ansteorra] Gulf war idea-straw bales

The straw bale structures at Bjornsborg are covered with wire mesh and
stucco. The walls, once constructed can be weight bearing for roofs, and
are more resistant to fire than a standard wood frame house. There has been
no spontaneous or other combustion (at least the straw bales)ever.

WOW!!!
That word about sums up Brad Leah's Ansteorran Tribute, this past weekend.
Our shire would like to thank everyone who worked, donated and participated
in Blat!! It was an overwhelming success!! Never did we dream that so many
gentles would be so generous and giving with only 4 weeks notice. The
silent
auction alone took 4 tables because of the vast selection of items!
Thank you for your generosity to this kingdom!! We had gentles from all
over the kingdom attend making this truely an Ansteorran Tribute.
Special Thanks to:
His Majesty for attending a small, non-kingdom calendar event in a far away
shire :)
Duke Kien for running our heavy fighting
Lady Theresa for over seeing our Light fighting
Master Artorious and HE Adria, along with the entire Barony of Eldern Hills
for a simply fantastic, HOT feast.
Baroness Michelle for hosting the Silent Auciton
Mistress Stacia and Master Tarl for putting together and running a very
profitable raffle.
hopefully we haven't left anyone out.
The amount collect.. not just the profits,,,will go to Kingdom use. We are
VERY proud to announce that our little "thrown together at the last minute"
FREE event has made OVER $2,500.oo !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to all our dedicated members of the Shire of Brad Leah for wanting to
give something back to the Kingdom and populace. It takes a lot of gusto to
host a free event with little lead in time or advertising! Vivat!!
In service to the Kingdom and her populace,
Your proud stewarts of BLAT

Anaerobic bacteria start working, producing heat, enough to dry the
center of the bales.
Insulation factor of the hay is high enough to contain the heat, as
the anaerobic decomposition continues at the outer edge of the growing
sphere of dry, powdered hay and accelerates due to the elevated
temperature. Process also produced methane. After awhile, the center
of the sphere reaches the auto ignition point (possibly as low as 200
F, depending on fuel/air mixture, and starts to smolder, producing
charcoal powder. Flame front finally reaches open air, and you have
flaming "wet" hay.

has
been known to start in wet hay. I've seen it happen. Lampasas River flooded
and the barn and winter hay was close enough to go underwater. Water went
down
and 3 days later, its on fire. I won't believe wet hay catching fire if I
hadn't seen it for myself. From my understanding, the wall will only be one
bale thick, that alone shouldn't be enough to worry about, but this maybe
something to watch out for just in case. Just two cents worth of thought.

David, my Plant Science and Horticultural Thereapy professors, as well as my
Master
Gardener mentor, could not have explained the compost process and potential
spontaneous combustion better! When the silo blew it looked like napalm in
the morning.

I think the same basic process is at work after I have too many
jalapenos on my cheeseburger.

I agree with Aurora I have also seen hay go up like a bomb and it was
raining.

However....it would be difficult for it to do this if it was encased all the
way around in concrete. Also, it is an accepted building method that has
been used in the Southwest with good luck. Check back a few posts to the
links Baroness Saraphina sent.

I have gone to the websites about straw homes. It was very impressive. It=
does give me something else to build my home when I finally can afford to.=
But as they put it, it has to be dry and tightly packed. Guess the Big,B=
