The cost difference between a home/hobby use system and a light manufacturing-type application is exponential so we've been slow to proceed on that end. Technology is getting better and the price on systems is slowly coming down so who knows?

At one time I had a bunch of files of stuff on Listers/Listeroids and burning WVO, I'll see what I can scape together. In the meantime, here are a few sites:

There's a guy in Hartford who's either had this particular one, a 6hp w/4kW head,

for sale for a l-o-n-g time or he's buying the Listeroids and gensets and selling them as a package because the price has held at $2500 for probably a year. There is a fair amount of CL embellishment but it's a decent price for it. If it was in my budget I'd pick one up for future use but it's not in the cards right now. My dream is to have an off-grid vacation camp somewhere up on a lake in the north Maine woods someday.
