In practical terms, I put in about 2kg of food waste each day and so far I have had enough gas to cook with, sometimes twice a day. If I ever needed more gas, I could put in more organic matter. I will continue to monitor the system as part of my research and will publish updates in due course. If interested, watch this space.

Should be fairly simple to build yourself too (look up floating drum bio digestor), but the low pressure requires modified nozzles in the gas burners of the stove.
