Good point Red Green.
Reminds one of a TV item about making methane gas to run farm machnery
from animal (and human) waste. Which in some places is used to make
sufficient gas for some limited cooking.
And some humans burn dried animal dung for cooking food.
But this was on a bigger scale on a farm.
A chemistry professor from a local university who was involved was
asked "Which type of manure/waste is best for making the gas?".
His answer was hardly 'scientific'!
"Oh", he said. "Don't really know. But the worse it stinks the more
gas it seems to make". :-)
