DAGS for "Premier Supermatic". I think these are made in Canada - and
if you overload 'em and use real muscle, they'll produce a cigarette
so solid that it won't burn.

These are 'compress and inject' machines that insert a cylindrical
pellet of tobacco into a manufactured paper tube - not the same
approach as that taken with the 'roller' machines.

I don't suggest using a cigarette-maker as a fuel pellet producer -
but think that once you take a look at the mechanism, you'll see how
to make a simple (automatic, motorized) machine for making sawdust
fuel pellets. If you can't find one to examine locally, drop me an
e-mail and I'll send some pictures (but better that you should examine
one first-hand).

Andy, if you can't find one, I've got two or three around somewhere. I
could send you one.
