What it is; how it is made; how to use it
Turn manure into cooking gas with an oil drum, some pipe and patience. Published in 1984 and somehow more relevant every year since. The drawings of the drum-and-gas-holder rig are small masterpieces of explanation.
Better Farming Series No. 31 · Written and illustrated at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Rome, and first published 1984.
